Product description
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the name César Cui is still relatively unknown, despite the unearthing and recording of music by many other, even more obscure, composers. The other members of the Russian "Mighty Handful" vastly overshadowed him. The Grove article about him primarily talks about his few operas, which were only moderately successful productions. However, he also wrote a large body of piano works, which are arguably his better efforts. Christoph Deluze gives just a small sampling of that work on this disc. Cui admired the work of Schumann, Liszt, and Chopin, and his piano music reflects this. It is very pianistic, not without technical challenges, and runs the gamut of Romantic emotion. It also experiments with new harmonies, showing its relation to the music of Cui's older contemporary Liszt and, as Deluze points out, to that of his younger contemporary Scriabin, but never strays too far from tonal centers. The appeal of the music lies in its variety and imaginativeness.
