KultuNaut.dk Oleg Marshev in recital kilde: KuItuNaut, Caspar Andreas Dyrehauge Man. 17. nov. 2008 Oleg Marshev spiller overbevisende materialet pв sin nye CD Un recital". Forse og fremmest er det en god blandning af vaerker - polske Chopin, ungarske Liszt og russiske Scriabin - dernaest er det en pianist, der kan noget mere end blot lire ballader af. Marshev er skraemmende god pв tangenterne, og man nyder hans selskab - han har noget pa hjertet. Oleg Marshev far virkelig tangenterne til at danse pв sin nye udgivelse fra det danske pladeselskab Danacord. Hans 3 valse af Chopin er ikke blot velvalgt,men i hoj grad ogsб velspillet. Selvfolgelig er Chopin en yderst prekaer komponist, og hans vaerker er mesterstykker for piano...

Pianist. OM in recital

The Pianist OLEG MARSHEV IN RECITAL DACOCD 677 In Oleg Marshev's new disc the revelation comes with the Scriabin pieces, which are quite simply ravishing. Oleg Marshev has recorded all of Tchaikovsky's works for piano and orchestra, and is one of the few pianists who has inhis discography more works for piano and orchestra than solo recitals. Critics around the world praise his releases, however, this new recording, made straight after a successful New Zealand concert tour, may be his best. Never has the Liszt Funerailles sounded so devastatingly tragic, the Spanish Rhapsody so super virtuosic and the Chopin so stylish and brilliant. The real revelation comes with the last Scriabin pieces which are quite simply ravishing in their beauty and where one really...

Oleg Marshev displays a super-size virtuosity Oleg Marshev in recital An astonishing release from a pianist perfectly attuned to this repertoire. Chopin Three Waltzes, Op 34. Ballade No 4,Op 52 Liszt Funerailles, S173 No 7. Rhapsodie espagnole, S254. Etudes d'execution transcendante, S139-No 10 Scriabin Mazurkas–Op 25No 3; Op 40 Nos 1 & 2. Poemes, Op 32. Preludes, Op 15. Vers la flamme, Op 72 Oleg Marshev pf Danacord DACOCD677 (79' • DDD) This recital shows Oleg Marshev's formidable powers in a dazzling, ultra-Romantic light. Yet his super-size virtuosity - a place where muscles bulge and ripple - is backed by a no less enthralling musicianship. Marshev's earlier record of the Liszt-Tausig Tasso will have alerted even the most blase virtuoso-fancier to exceptional powers and here in the Rhapsodie espagnole he...

CLASSICAL SOURCE. Liszt

CLASSICAL SOURCE Franz Liszt Piano Sonata in B minor Tasso, Lamento e Trionfo [transcribed Tausig] A Faust Symphony – Gretchen [arranged Liszt] Oleg Marshev (piano) Rec. Recorded February 2006 in Aalborg, Denmark DANACORD DACOCD 653 Duration 65 minutes With realistic and immediate piano sound, Oleg Marshev’s rigorous yet emotional account of Liszt’s great B minor Sonata is a compelling journey. It’s a work often recorded and several new versions have appeared recently; Marshev’s is a considered view, a rendition of insight and experience – and trust in the composer. Marshev sees the work whole and he is not afraid to shape with feeling the lyrical episodes or to make turbulent the climactic ones. But these are not incidental ‘happenings’: they...

WWW.MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL I’m not Liszt’s biggest fan, but Marshev has made me love what I merely admired, admire what I merely respected and, to cap it all, he’s even managed to make the boring bearable. Franz LISZT (1811 - 1886) Piano Sonata in B Minor, S178 (1852-3) [29:20] Tasso, Lamento e Trionfo ­ Symphonic Poem (1849), transcr. (1858) Carl Tausig (1841-1871) [19:21] Gretchen, from A Faust Symphony, S513 (1854), transcr. (1856,1857) Liszt [16:08] Oleg Marshev (piano) Rec. Aalborg, Denmark, February 2006. DDD Danacord DACOCD 653 [65:16] Just lately, Liszt has got me a bit puzzled. Forget the famed and fкted of the Nineteenth Century opera stage ­ they were small beer when compared with Liszt, the man who kick-started the...

www.classicalsource.com Liszt Piano Concertos Piano Concerto No.1 in E flat, Piano Concerto No.2 in A, Totentanz, Hungarian Fantasy Oleg Marshev (pf) Aalborg Symphony Orchestra/Matthias Aeschbacher Duration 73 minutes Danacord DACOCD 651 I approve of the 'modesty' of this recording. So often, piano concerto recordings of the Romantic era beleaguer the ears in an attempt to underline a soloist's brilliance. Frequently everything is 'up-front' and on some occasions it is only the piano that is 'up-front' while the orchestra provides a mushy accompaniment. This is not the case with this honest release; if sometimes a little shy in the woodwind department, the engineers here match the unfussy style of the playing. Interestingly and in my view, appropriately, the recording gives the...
