Christopher Williams - Semyon Alexeyevich Barmotin: Piano Music Vol. 2 - Piano Sonata in G flat major, Trois Romances Sans Paroles, Tableaux de

The published works of Barmotin (1877�1939) date from a particularly rich flowering of Russian culture that preceded the Revolution of 1917. From the Romantic expansiveness of the Piano Sonata, Op. 4 to the colourful and reflective Tableaux de la vie enfantine, the attraction of Barmotin�s piano music stems from his spirited artistic personality, the refinement of his harmonic language and mastery of form. Christopher Williams continues his acclaimed rediscovery of a composer who allows the emotional character of each musical moment to flourish.
