Evgenia Rubinova - Tchaikovsky's Testament

Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Testament: These are the 18 Pieces, Op. 72, which the great Russian composer crafted for the piano just a year before his death - and they transcend any sense of idealism or otherworldliness. They are vibrant, soulful musical character portraits, brought to life anew on a new Genuin album and under the magical fingers of the internationally acclaimed pianist Evgenia Rubinova. This final, comprehensive piano opus by Tchaikovsky comprises a treasury of miniature masterpieces, unfairly overshadowed by the global fame of works like the Pathetique and the Nutcracker, both of which emerged during the same period: from nostalgic reveries to homages to great colleagues and even to outright miniature ballets!
