Pianist Nicolas Stavy, who has already made recordingsdevoted to works by Boris Tishchenko (BIS-2189) andDmitri Shostakovich (BIS-2550), now presents the firstinstalment of a complete survey of Alfred Schnittke'scompositions for solo piano. This recording presentsworks from various periods of the Russian-Germancomposer's career - from the 1950s, which thecomposer described as the 'years of obscurity', to the1990s, a time shaped both by world fame and seriousillness. While Schnittke wrote relatively little music forthe piano, each work reflects - or sometimes anticipates- the phases of the composer's creative development.
