Pictures at an Exhibition is the mainstay of this disc, the other pieces having been chosen with it in mind. I had started to play Rachmaninoff’s Sonata no. 2 in concert again before the decision to make the recording was taken, so it was under my fingers. It seemed logical to put the two works together because the influence of Mussorgsky is very much in evidence in the sonata. However, Rachmaninoff’s primary source of inspiration was clearly Tchaikovsky, who therefore, and quite naturally, also claimed a place in the programme. I have recently played Rachmaninoff’s Suite no. 1 for Two Pianos, dedicated to Tchaikovsky. The last movement, entitled Easter, explicitly evokes The Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an Exhibition, thus closing the circle.
I got to know all these works at different stages of my life. I played the Tchaikovsky pieces as a child, the Romance at the age of 8 and Dumka at 12 or 13, for the Vladimir Krainev International Competition for Young Pianist. The Rachmaninoff sonata came into my life during my adolescence and I immediately opted for the version revised by the composer himself. Despite my affection for the original edition, I feel more at home with the revised and ostensibly more effective version.
Pictures is the work I came to last, playing it for the first time in 2009, because I believe it requires a certain maturity. My reading of it could be said to be highly personal, since I have never studied the score with a teacher. With some music I feel the need to shut myself away, without trying to find out how other pianists approach it. That was the case with Pictures. Although the piece demands a vast input of energy, it generates a literally transformative positive energy in return. What I like most about Mussorgsky’s masterpiece is the construction, together with a very individual kind of transcendence. I am fascinated, for example, by the progression which leads us from the dark forces unleashed by Baba Yaga’s Hut to the luminous conclusion of the Great Gate of Kiev. As its gleaming bells ring out, I feel myself truly transported back to Russia.
