{"product_id":"barmotin-williams-piano-music","title":"Barmotin \/ Williams- Piano Music (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSEMYON ALEXEYEVICH BARMOTIN (1877-1939) was a student of Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov, and his fate under the Soviet regime in the 1930s remains a mystery, but what survives of his music is impressive in both scale and content. These world première recordings are filled with color and contrast: the Tema con variazioni transforms it's material into a multitude of moods to conclude in a symphonic march, while the 20 Preludes are striking in their sophisticated harmonies and heightened emotional impact. Christopher Williams is a music graduate of Cardiff University and now leads a busy and varied professional life as a pianist, composer, conductor, teacher and arranger. He is currently assistant director of the BBC National Chorus of Wales and is a pianist for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, with whom he has performed at the BBC Proms and recorded for the Chandos and Hyperion labels. In addition to his work as a soloist, Williams is in great demand as an accompanist and chamber musician, and has partnered many of the prominent instrumentalists of his generation including Philippe Schartz, Tim Thorpe, David Childs, David Pyatt and Tine Thing Helseth. He has also appeared on BBC TV and been broadcast on BBC Radio and Radio Luxembourg. His recording of Brahms transcriptions for Grand Piano was featured as album of the week on NDR Kultur.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 1: No. 1, Adagietto Con Dolore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 1: No. 2, Allegretto Con Dolce Maniera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 1: No. 3, Moderato Con Morbidezza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 1: No. 4, Andantino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 1: No. 5, Moderato Con Spirito\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 2: No. 6, Allegro Ma Non Tanto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 2: No. 7, Andante Affettuoso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 2: No. 8, Allegro Con Grazia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 2: No. 9, Andantino Cantabile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 2: No. 10, Allegro Moderato Con Spirito\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 3: No. 11, Adagietto Con Anima\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 3: No. 12, Vivace Con Impeto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 3: No. 13, Andante Religioso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 3: No. 14, Allegro Con Agilita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 3: No. 15, Andante Con Molto Espressione\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 4: No. 16, Allegro Assai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 4: No. 17, Andante Cantabile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 4: No. 18, Moderato - Allegro Moderato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 4: No. 19, Larghetto Con Tristezza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Preludes, Op. 12, Book 4: No. 20, Tempo Di Marcia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheme \u0026amp;amp; Variations, Op. 1: Theme.
