Olga Solovieva (piano)About
Although he was dogged by ill fortune (he was an orphan), ill health and the hostile political climate of the Stalin regime, Galynin’s music expresses a defiant will to live with verve and humour.
His musical gifts were held in the highest esteem by Dmitri Shostakovich and Nikolai Myaskovsky, his teachers at the Moscow Conservatory and many of Galynin’s freshest works date from his student years at the Conservatory.
Considered to be one of the casualties of Stalin’s post-war cultural purges, Galynin was deeply affected by the dismissal of Shostakovich for harbouring ‘formalist’ tendencies. As a former pupil of Shostakovich, he was reassigned to a different teacher and asked to compose works to demonstrate his ‘re-education’ after having been ‘contaminated’ by Shostakovich.
What remains most compelling about Galynin’s music is the highly personal quality of his lyricism, his ability to expand his material in fresh and fertile directions and a phenomenal rhythmic verve. All this is in evidence in his music for solo piano, of which this recording offers the first instalment of a comprehensive survey.
