Bortkiewicz received his musical training from Anatoly Lyadov and Karl von Arek at the Imperial Conservatory of Music in Saint Petersburg. In 1900 he left Saint Petersburg and travelled to Leipzig, where he became a student of Alfred Reisenauer and Salomon Jadassohn, both pupils of Franz Liszt. In July 1902, Bortkiewicz completed his studies at the Leipzig Conservatory and was awarded the Schumann Prize on graduation. On his return to the Russian Empire in 1904, he married Elisabeth Geraklitowa, a friend of his sister, and then returned to Germany, where he settled in Berlin. It was there that he started to compose seriously. The composer, who was very unfortunately affected by the devastating effects of two great wars, remained one of the last representatives of Russian romantic music. Bortkiewicz's style was influenced by Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, early Scriabin, Wagner, sometimes a bit impressionistic and Ukrainian folklore. (from wikipedia) Note, Moriz Rosenthal recording is star of this set. So thanks for the sparkle1272001!! This video took me a month... But anyway enjoy!
