Leopold GODOWSKY<br />

22 Chopin Studies<br />

Ivan Ilić: piano<br />

release date: <strong>June</strong> 12, 2012<br />

GODOWSKY: 22 Chopin Studies for <strong>the</strong> Left Hand Alone<br />

American pianist Ivan Ilić has recorded his second CD for French label Paraty, entitled 22<br />

Chopin Studies by Leopold Godowsky. Godowsky was a celebrity in his day: Artur Rubinstein<br />

said that “it would take him 500 years” to acquire Godowsky’s technique. But following<br />

Godowsky’s death in 1938, his compositions were largely ignored until <strong>the</strong> year 2000, when<br />

super-virtuoso pianists such as Marc-André Hamelin and Boris Berezovsky began to record<br />

and perform his works in concert. Ivan Ilić is <strong>the</strong> latest pianist to rise to <strong>the</strong> formidable<br />

challenge. His album focuses on <strong>the</strong> 22 Studies for <strong>the</strong> left hand alone, considered among <strong>the</strong><br />

most difficult pieces ever written for <strong>the</strong> instrument.<br />

François COUPERIN<br />

Portrait d’Iris: Suites for Viola da Gamba<br />

Emmanuelle Guigues, Sylvia Abramowicz: viola da gambas/Rémi Cassaigne: <strong>the</strong>orbo, baroque<br />

guitar/Bruno Procopio: harpsichord<br />

COUPERIN: Pièces de violes avec la basse chifrée par Mr. F.C.—1 st & 2 nd Suites • Pièces de<br />

clavecin (sel.)<br />

Paraty Records offers homage to François Couperin on this disc, which includes two suites for<br />

viola da gamba and basso continuo, <strong>the</strong> fourteenth Royal Concert, and several works for solo<br />

harpsichord. Through this portrait, <strong>the</strong> four musicians explore <strong>the</strong> multifaceted music of <strong>the</strong><br />

beloved composer.<br />

Joaquín TURINA<br />

Solo Guitar Works<br />

Sébastien Llinares: guitar<br />

J. TURINA: Rafaga • Hommage a Tarrega: Garrotin & Soleares • Fandanguillo • Sevillana •<br />

Sonata • Poema en Forma de Canciones (exc.) • La Aldea Duerme from Miniaturas • José Luis<br />

TURINA: Copla de Cante Jondo<br />

Joaquín Turina belongs to a category of musicians, too few in number, who have left a mark<br />

on <strong>the</strong> guitar repertoire. Instead of treating <strong>the</strong> instrument with disdain, he wrote for it with a<br />

certain assiduity. Just as Kodaly was <strong>the</strong> first to use <strong>the</strong> open strings of <strong>the</strong> cello to great effect,<br />

Turina rediscovered those of <strong>the</strong> guitar. Born in Toulouse in 1978, Sébastien Llinares joined<br />

Cristian Marcia’s class at <strong>the</strong> Conservatoire Frédéric Chopin in Paris. In 2007–2008, he attracted<br />

attention during <strong>the</strong> International Academy of <strong>Music</strong> of Cagliary, where he won a scholarship<br />

given by <strong>the</strong> Zaleski Foundation.
