When Vesselin STANEV gave a recital in the Rachmaninov Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire in 2000, the Russian press reviews exclaimed in enthusiasm: “… Remember the name of Vesselin Stanev, he will amaze us in the years to come.” (Valentina Torbina, Evening Club, 2000). This review is significant, as the pianist was prize winner of the P. I. Tchaikovsky International Competition (1982) and a student in Prof. Dmitry Bachkirov’s class (1983-1988) at the Moscow Conservatoire. The citizens of Moscow also first witnessed the beginning of his career. In the following 12 years Vesselin Stanev specialized with Alexis Weisenberg in Paris and played at a number of prestigious international festivals. He was also soloist at concerts with prominent orchestras like the Bamberg Symphonic Orchestra under Armin Jordan, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte Carlo, the Youth Orchestra of Paris, etc. He has given successful recitals in most of the important European musical centres and has toured in Japan.
This is the fourth CD of Vesselin Stanev that Gega New has recorded (1996, 2000, 2001). It features two works, which are a real trial for any pianist: 15 Variations and fugue on original theme in E-flat major, op. 35 “Eroica”, by Beethoven and Schumann’s Kreisleriana.
