Weinberg: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 3 by Allison Brewster Franzetti (CD) Sealed

Description: The third volume of the complete piano works focuses on the three sets of Children’s Notebooks, 23 charming miniatures written to meet the strong demand for music for children in the Soviet Union. Weinberg’s sets, however, were criticized for so-called inappropriate sophistication. The 21 Easy Pieces for Piano, Op 34 are mood pictures, less technically demanding than the Notebooks but certainly not aimed at beginners. While Weinberg was establishing his reputation in Moscow with serious music, he also composed 23 charming miniatures to meet the demand for children's music in the Soviet Union. These were criticized for being too sophisticated, but like the 21 Easy Pieces may be intended for audiences of all ages. Allison Brewster Franzetti renders them beautifully. "Vol. 3 consists of lighter fare, the three Children' Notebooks, the 21 Easy Pieces, and the equally light Can-Can. The latter piece and four of the Easy Pieces are world premiere recordings. As would be expected, this is less technically complex music, but like Schumann's Kinderszenen it is far from uninteresting, and the added charm of the music is very similar to his Winnie the Pooh music." --Lynn René Bayley, fanfaremag.com Credits Composed By – Mieczysław Weinberg Piano – Allison Brewster Franzetti Producer – Carlos Franzetti Notes: Recorded June 25-26, 2010 at Enlow Hall, Kean University Hillside, New Jersey, USA.
