Unknown classics

"Anatol Lyadov is one of the more recent Russian composers of the Romance period, and one of the less popular. This might be due to his small canon of works, for surely it is not due to its quality. This CD contains many of Lyadov's best works. Their inspirations included Russian folk music, music for stage performances, and music for ceremonies. Regardless of the inspiration, the result is beauty. The pieces range from dramatic to soft in mood, but all are firmly in the style of Russian romantic classics. I highly recommend this CD."

"This is really such a fine CD. A great recording with wonderful resonant sonorities.
The Enchanted Lake is my favourite. The work is so peaceful and time just stands still. I play this track time and time again.
A really worthwhile purchase."
