About

'The piece "October" from Tchaikovsky's Seasons, op.37, comes from an older recording by Evgeni Koroliov from 1992 (TACET25). That was the time of the Yugoslav Wars and the collapse of the Soviet Union. I rememberthat Evgeni Koroliov, who was born in Moscow, spoke during a break in his gentle manner about how this music was for him a reminder of irretrievable times before the Russian revolution. 33 years later, Koroliov speaks as he did then, he has remained true to himself and his playing, the times are just as confused and uncertain. Even the sound is similar. Accordingly, the new recordings on this "Russian" CD are permeated by a similar longing for a better world, which never existed as beautifully as in this music. I am happy and grateful to have been able to accompany this quiet and expressive artist, who enriches the music world so lastingly, on TACET for such a long time. This is already his 26th recording on TACET and the second CD this year, the second of three!' – Andreas Spreer
