Tchaikovsky / Sheng

Description:

Yuan Shen has been releasing energetically in recent years. He recorded his second collection of Tchaikovsky’s piano music, “Children’s Album,” following “The Four Seasons” in 2017. While Tchaikovsky has captivated audiences with his virtuosic, powerful, and challenging music, it seems that throughout his life he was also committed to making music for the ever-increasing number of amateur musicians. Without compromising or simplifying his own individuality, he left behind works for those with a certain degree of technique. Although sometimes referred to at the time as “music for a reliable source of income,” it is an excellent work that contains Tchaikovsky’s character. The performance of this work also shines with Yuan Shen’s delicate touch and profound expressive power. Nippon Shuppan Boeki Co.
