/ EAN 4260179143946
Boris Fogelman's compositions for piano and string ensemble are timeless masterpieces that convey a range of emotions to the audience. From solemn to playful, from melancholy to lighthearted, they share their thorough compositional craftsmanship and thoughtful instrumentation. Fogelman's waltzes are proof of the versatility the classical musical form of the waltz actually possesses and his non-waltz pieces on the album are made with equal care and musicianship. Recorded with musicians of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, great sopranos and some musicians outside the Orchestra.

Victoria
Light waltz, featuring a slightly melancholic violin melody with warm piano accompaniment. Evokes historical images of Vienna coffee house culture and salon music.
Variations on a waltz. A longing theme evolves into a baroque dance, turns into a Sicilienne followed by a fugue, only to land in the world of Russian romance.
Solemn lament for a fallen lover as an instrumental part. Also available as an à cappella coloratura soprano variation that is heartfelt, mournful and dramatic.
Like a movie itself, this thoughtful mid-tempo piece for piano and strings takes the listener on a voyage through time, memory and emotional ups and downs.
True to its title, this composition has a quite melancholic undertone, yet it is not too heavy. Mid-tempo waltz to underline thoughtful moods and introspection.
