Risto-Matti Marin (piano)About
The Bohemian pianist, composer and writer, August Stradal (1860–1930) was considered a leading interpreter of Liszt’s music and made many transcriptions of orchestral and chamber works for the piano, from the Baroque era to the late nineteenth century.
Stradal’s transcriptions of Liszt’s symphonic poems transform these revolutionary orchestral compositions into viable and effective piano works, faithfully preserving their masterly musical substance.
In his transcriptions, Stradal scrupulously indicates the instruments playing in the orchestral score at any given time, and devises many ingenious solutions to representing their sound in terms of the keyboard.
This is the first of four CDs presenting all thirteen symphonic poems as well as other Stradal/Liszt transcriptions, all but one in their first recordings.
Risto-Matti Marin (born in Kuopio in 1976) obtained a master’s degree in performance from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki in 2004. After winning first prizes in the Kuopio and the Helmi Vesa Piano Competitions, Risto-Matti Marin was awarded the third prize in the international Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Weimar in 2003. His first two solo CDs, the programmes of which range from Baroque to contemporary compositions, have received high acclaim both at home in Finland and abroad.
