Glinka-Balakriev 'The Lark' recording

on: June 05, 2009, 07:06:52 PM

Hello. Does anyone know of a CD which includes a recording of the Glinka-Balakriev 'The Lark'? I'm having trouble finding one. Thanks.

Kissin has recorded this and he plays it well. I think this is on you tube as well.

Regretfully, this CD includes the Mussorgsky - Pictures, which makes it worthless.

Yeah - I've thus far avoided buying any Evgeny Kissin CDs. I will buy the Kissin one if I have to, but I was wondering if anyone else has recorded it.

Alexander Paley recorded the complete Balakirev piano works, so i assume this transcription must be in there somewhere.

This is not an "unknown" transcription, so i would have thought there are a few recordings.

Kissin's recording is my favorite. There are many on YT so just compare to find what you like best!

Browsing through my collection, I found it on the 1989 sampler of the Rarities of Piano Music festival. Wouldn't have it expected there, as it's hardly a "rarity". But very beautiful it is in any case!

Gordon Fergus-Thompson recorded it, though it may not be currently available. A very fine version.
