Extractions: "The young Dutch violinist Sonja van Beek and German pianist Andreas Frolich negotiate its [the Violin Sonata] challenges with ease: as in Rachmaninoff's Cello Sonata, the pianist has as tough a role as the melody instrument. 'Much Ado about Nothing' is...performed here with affection and a silken suavity. the remainder of the repertoire is made up of arrangements of Korngold lollipops...Here, the almost vocal qualities of van Beek's tone come into their own." **** -Rye, BBC

Emil Von Sauer Etudes EMIL VON SAUER Twenty Concert Etudes. oleg marshev, pianist. DANACORD DACOCD 487 (F) (DDD) TT 7721 Young Russian pianist oleg marshev, winner of many prestigious prizes in the http://www.classicalcdreview.com/omes.htm
Extractions: DANACORD DACOCD 487 (F) (DDD) TT: 77:21 Sauer's works include 2 piano concertos, 2 sonatas and 29 concert studies, 20 of which are included on this recent CD issued in Europe about two ears ago, only now (May 2001) in the U.S. Only one, the first, is actually called "concert-etude," in G-flat; with a playing time of 8:34 it is the longest of all. The others have colorful, imaginative titles (Sighing Breezes, The Hunt, Sirens, Bird Songs etc. with one called "L'Eteuf" (which apparently has something to do with a tennis ball) translated as "fangball." Although all are of extreme difficulty, several are devoted to specific piano techniques, i.e. octaves and trills. All are salon music of the highest order with an abundance of arpeggios and gossamer textures. The sedate center section of Vision , in B minor is quite similar to the central section of Chopin's Scherzo No. 3. Young Russian pianist Oleg Marshev, winner of many prestigious prizes in the piano competition world, plays Sauer's music with finesse as well as technical assurance. It's a delectable program, best taken in small doses and has been very well recorded. If you have a keen interest in Emil von Saueryou might investigate the superb 3-CD set (Marston 53002) containing his Liszt recordings along with many shorter pieces recorded in the late '20s and '30s when Sauer was in his prime a collection that includes two of the concert etudes on the new Danacord recording. A second Marshev is in the works which will include the remaining concert etudes and other Sauer pieces.

RACHMANINOFF Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 43. oleg marshev, pianist; Aarhus Symphony Orch/James Loughran, cond. Young Russian pianist oleg marshev has won a number of major prizes http://www.classicalcdreview.com/sroleg.htm
Extractions: DANACORD 582 (3 CDs) (DDD) (M) TT: 65:12 / 45:42 / 54:47 Young Russian pianist Oleg Marshev has won a number of major prizes, the first of which was the 1988 Pilar Bayona (REVIEW) . Marshev also has recorded all of Prokofiev's solo piano music and the five piano concertos as well as a number of "Danish Romantic Piano Concertos," with complete sets of piano/orchestra works of Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich in the works. Unfortunately, this set of the Rachmaninoff concertos will not add to Marshev's reputation. Throughout his tempi are cautious, almost reticent, and there are few instances of full-blown dynamic pianism so appropriate for this music. The opening chords of Concerto No. 2 are played without imagination. Concerto No. 3 is particularly sedate, and there is no magic in the problematic Concerto No. 4, a work particularly magnificent in the hands of Arturo Benedetti-Michelangeli and Earl Wild. Rachmaninoff's 1934 recording of his Paganini Rhapsody Rhapsody fit onto just two CDs, but because of slow tempi this isn't possible on these performances.

Extractions: This is an excellent disc in a number of ways. One of its characteristics is that it is a condensed survey of the entire piano music output of Rachmaninov. Let me explain. There are three works on this disc; the Five Fantasy Pieces Op. 3, the Second Piano Sonata in B flat minor and the Corelli Variations . Now the Opus 5 was written shortly after the composer's student years came to an end. The Piano Sonata dates from his fortieth year and the Corelli Variations was the very last original composition for piano, being written in 1931. However that is not all. Two of the Five Fantasy Pieces were revised as late as 1940 and of course the Piano Sonata was itself reworked by the composer eighteen years after it first performance. So we have a conspectus of Rachmaninov's achievement over a period of nearly half a century.

Oleg Marshev er allerede et kendt navn på Danacord, for hvem han har indspillet adskillige CDer med musik af bl.a. Prokofiev, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Richard Strauss samt Rued Langgaard og dennes far Siegfried. Marshev er uddannet i Moskva, men er nu bosat i Italien, hvorfra han hyppigt drager ud og giver koncerter verden over. »On hearing Oleg Marshev's opening salvo in Rachmaninov's First Concerto (and his eruption into the cadenza later in the same movement) I was predisposed to like these performances. Indeed, they prove to be honest, committed, and founded on ample technical aplomb. These performances struck me as genuinely
