Description

[Machine Translation] The Republic of Armenia has nurtured a rich culture since BC. Stepanian, born in 1897, was praised as a "great Armenian" by Khachaturian, a fellow student of the Gnessin School of Music. Following in the footsteps of Komitas, who is credited with establishing modern Armenian music, Stepanian wrote numerous works, including three symphonies, operas, songs, and piano pieces. His piano pieces are in the style of Chopin and Rachmaninoff, but are characterized by nostalgic melodies that incorporate the essence of Armenian folk songs. Oriental melodies and unique scales can be heard throughout this collection of preludes. Recorded in 2016, performed by Mikael Ayrapetian.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ステパニアン: ピアノのための26の前奏曲集 / ミカエル・アイラペティアン

紀元前より豊かな文化を育んできたアルメニア共和国。古くはペルシャとオスマン帝国との抗争を通じて教会音楽や民族音楽を吸収し、独自の音楽文化を創り上げてきた国。1897年に生まれたステパニアンは、グネーシン音楽学校の同門、ハチャトゥリアンが"偉大なアルメニア人"と称賛した作曲家。アルメニアの近代音楽を確立したとされるコミタスの流れを汲み、3曲の交響曲を始め、オペラ、歌曲、ピアノ曲など多数の作品を書いた人。ピアノ曲はショパンやラフマニノフ風でありながら、アルメニア民謡のエッセンスを取り入れた郷愁に満ちた旋律が特徴的。この前奏曲集からも、随所にオリエンタルなメロディと独特な音階が聴こえる。ミカエル・アイラペティアンの演奏による2016年録音。
