Description

Despite his young age the Russian pianist Vyacheslav Gryaznov has already written quite an impressive number of transcriptions for piano solo or chamber music ensembles, among them many arrangements of chamber music and orchestral works by Russian composers like Borodin, Tchaikovsky or Rakhmaninov. However, Gryaznov also studies intensively the music from J. S. Bach, Mahler and Debussy to Leonard Bernstein and makes it come alive on the piano. The edition Piano Transcriptions for piano solo contains nine of his transcriptions: from Glinka’s Valse-Fantaisie to the Waltz of the Flowers from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite or the famous Adagietto from Mahler’s Fifth Symphony. An attractive way to rediscover these popular major works on the piano for oneself!
