GD 121 Tomislav BAYNOV piano - FAMOUS WORKS OF GREAT COMPOSERS
Issued: 1997
Style: Classical Music
Company: Gega New, GD121
Tomislav Baynov has included in his CD famous works by J. P. Rameau, Chopin and Liszt - composers who have had an enormous influence over the development of keyboard music and techniques. Educated and formed up as a performer in the traditions of the Bulgarian and the great German keyboard schools, Baynov interpreters with knowledge of the style peculiarities and a good sense of musicality to phrasing and dynamics two of the most popular pieces by Chopin - the Sonata in B minor and Liszt - the Sonata in B flat major. In an effective, dramatic and figurative manner of performance, the pianist re-creates the atmosphere of Chopin's Sonata, its build up of contrasts and complicated mode-interlaced design. The one-movement unique composition by Liszt presents Baynov not only as a virtuoso player, who has mastered the great resources of the instrument, but also as musician-philosopher capable of penetrating deep into the authorÂ’s ideas and messages, of taking them out of the music score and converting them into emotional impulses and suggestions. Jean-Philippe Rameau is not only one of the founders of the French keyboard school in the 18-th century, but also as a creative artist who has left an enormous heritage, in which the foundations of the great pianistic West-European culture lie. The performance of Gavotte with Variations is an example of RameauÂ’s stylistics. Baynov plays with subtlety, utmost lucidity of phrasing and achieves a sound, reminiscent of the ancient harpsichord, the composer had been playing on in his time.
