Disc — Canciones amatorias 2024

Description

The exquisite and at the same time vivid vocal cycle «Canciones amatorias» by Enrique Granados has been adorning Alexandra Zaryankina’s repertoire for many years. Rarely performed, it has been warmly received by audiences both in Russia and beyond.

Enrique Granados was not only a composer, but also an outstanding pianist. According to his contemporaries, Granados the pianist was a «wonderful colorist, his nuances were exhaustively diverse» — which can be heard in his works, in the endlessly beautiful and lively melodies.

The creation of the album «Love Songs» became possible thanks to the creative partnership of talented pianist Igor Yegorov and the possessor of a warm dramatic soprano, Alexandra Zaryankina. The delicate and deep sound of the piano, the holistic perception of the entire cycle, reveal in Igor Yegorov not only a wonderful pianist, but undoubtedly a very interesting conductor in the future. The emotional and thoughtful performance, the way the timbre of Alexandra Zaryankina’s voice is revealed in Spanish music, rightfully makes the cycle «Canciones amatorias» the singer’s calling card.
