{"product_id":"alexandrov-teo-complete-piano-sonatas-cd","title":"Alexandrov \/ Teo - Complete Piano Sonatas [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the first time, all fourteen piano sonatas by the enigmatic Soviet composer Anatoly Alexandrov (1888-1982) are brought together in a single recording. Known for his richly lyrical style, Alexandrov's music resonates with the spirit of his contemporaries Nikolai Medtner and Sergei Rachmaninov while charting a distinctive artistic path. A prolific composer of solo piano and vocal works, Alexandrov's ouvre has remained on the periphery of the repertoire, cherished by pianophiles but largely overlooked by broader audiences. His sonatas, written over the course of six decades, reflect a fascinating stylistic evolution shaped by the sweeping socio-political transformations of the 20th century. This landmark recording sheds new light on Alexandrov's place within Soviet music, offering a nuanced perspective that reaches beyond the familiar giants of Prokofiev and Shostakovich. It is both a celebration of Alexandrov's artistry and an invitation to explore the depth and complexity of a musical legacy ripe for rediscovery. Through this ambitious project, pianist Clarisse Teo offers an eloquent and compelling case for Alexandrov's sonatas as essential listening for lovers of 20th-century music, revealing a forgotten corner of the piano repertoire that brims with emotional depth and historical resonance. Singaporean pianist Clarisse Teo is renowned for her bold exploration of lesser-known and contemporary repertoire, earning praise for her \"confidently eclectic tastes\" (The Straits Times, 2022). Her international career spans solo and chamber performances, including a featured appearance on the acclaimed album Rarities of Piano Music at 'Schloss vor Husum' from the 2019 Festival (Danacord Records). Trained in piano, violin, and viola, she holds multiple distinctions, including the FRSM in piano, and completed her Master of Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland on a partial scholarship. Clarisse's groundbreaking Doctor of Performing Arts degree from the University of St Andrews, supported by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Trust and Trailblazer Foundation Ltd (Singapore), focused on the fourteen piano sonatas of Soviet composer Anatoly Alexandrov. Passionate about reshaping the classical canon, she brings fresh insight and vibrant artistry to the stage, redefining what it means to champion overlooked music.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonata No. 1 in F-sharp minor, Op. 4 'Sonata-Skazka'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonata No. 3 in F-sharp minor, Op. 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonata No. 4 in C major, Op. 19~I.
