Russian-American pianist Constantine Finehouse, praised for “interpretations of depth and maturity,” has recently released his third album, Backwards Glance, pairing solo piano works of Johannes Brahms and Richard Beaudoin. His upcoming CD with cellist Sebastian Baverstam will feature music of Franck, Shostakovich and Schemmer. The main focus of the current and the upcoming concert seasons are recitals of works by Chopin and Schumann, celebrating their bicentennials. 2010 will also see the release of the first in a series of six CD's on Naxos Records of the complete solo piano music of William Bolcom.
Backwards Glance - CD out now!
The music of both Johannes Brahms and Richard Beaudoin glances back at the old masters. Brahms re-shaped classical forms with his progressive harmony and phraseology; Beaudoin re-casts romantic lines, often layering quotes from the old masters while creating decidedly modern forms. Constantine Finehouse’s new recording weaves these two composers together, illustrating the vitality and interconnectivity within classical tradition.
