Description:

Authentic Russian album on the theme of Dumka! Selected piano works by Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Khachaturian and others! Russian album by pianist Jasmina Kulaglic from Belgrade, Serbia! This is a Russian album by the Belgrade, Serbia pianist Jasmina Kulaglic, who has been praised for her creative performances that combine great sensitivity and Slavic passion. The dumka (a shortened form of the word duma, originally a Ukrainian term for epic poem, which was favored by Slavic composers and enriched their music; see also "Dumka") is a form of music that is often contemplative and melancholy, and is often used by Slavic composers. Often contemplative and melancholic in character), the theme of this concert brings the listener into the real Russia with a collection of selected piano works by Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Khachaturian, and others. The program includes works by Ella Adayevskaya (1846-1926), who studied with Anton Rubinshtein and was also a folk music researcher; Leokadya Kashperova (1872-1940), an outstanding pianist and teacher of Stravinsky; and Tatyana Nikolae, a master of the Russian piano music world. The album also features rare works by female musicians such as Leokadiya Kashperova (1872-1940), an outstanding pianist and teacher of Stravinsky, and Tatyana Nikolaeva (1924-1993), a master of Russian piano music.Some are intensely lyrical, some are dense and full of life, some are mischievous, showing that joy can always be present. I feel that with this program I can offer the most beautiful things that my Slavic homeland has to offer: deep emotion, infinite sweetness, and the strength and courage to live."
