Description

The breadth of Anton Rubinstein’s contribution to the development

of Russian culture in the 19th century cannot be overstated. His

multifaceted genius can be divided into three areas: Rubinstein the

composer, the pianist, and the educator. This third release in the

series of recordings of his works for piano and orchestra focuses on

Rubinstein’s role as a pianist.

Hailed by The New York Times as a pianist of a fiery sensibility and

warm touch, Anna Shelest is an international award-winning pianist

who has thrilled audiences throughout the world.

Champion of esoteric repertoire, Anna’s collaboration with the

legendary conductor Neeme Järvi on a project of recording the

complete works for piano and orchestra by Anton Rubinstein has been

praised by Gramophone Magazine for “…power and agility… effortless

effect… nuanced and incisive all around.”
