Felix Blumenfeld 4 Preludes for Piano,

Felix Blumenfeld (1863 - 1931), 4 Preludes for Piano, (1888 - 1890) Performed by Gabriel Gorog (2007) 00:00 - No. 1 en Sol Majeur (G major) 01:52 - No. 2 en Mi Majeur (E major) 04:30 - No. 3 in Do Diese Mineur (C# Minor) 06:34 - No. 4 en Ré Majeur (D major) Felix Blumenfeld is probably best known as the piano teacher of Vladimir Horowitz and Simon Barere, but he too was a key figure in Russian music, as pianist, conductor, editor, teacher and composer. His Allegro de concert (1889) combines an oriental flavour reminiscent of Glinka, Rubinstein and Balakirev with piano-writing that owes much to Liszt.
