STYVYN.COM >> PIANO Classical Masterworks - Prologue contains a dizzying array of virtuosic pieces for the piano. Beginning with the extreme athleticism of Franz Liszt's Scherzo and March, the recording continues with a crisp and brisk Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue of Bach followed by a lyrical and deliberate rendering of the famous Brahms Intermezzo, Op. 118, Nr. 2. A Liszt-like performance of Debussy's Isle of Joy and an energetic interpretation of Granados' Allegro de Concierto precede a breathtaking Russian section with Moszkowki's Etude in F-Major, the last Etude-Tableaux of Rachmaninoff and an edge-of-your seat ride with Rachmaninoff's transcription of the Bumble-Bee. Liszt's Fantasy on Themes from Wagner's Rienzi leads into the somber and thundering Funerailles of Liszt ending a masterful journey through an imaginative and unusual combination of literature for the piano. Prologue is available for digital download on iTunes and Amazon. CDs may be purchased from CDBaby. STYVYN has performed on 5 continents as soloist and collaborative artist.
