Dmitry Masleev

The current season begins with the release of a new album on Europe’s leading labels Aparte. This time Dmitry Masleev is not only the soloist but also the conductor of the Svetlanov Orchestra, leading the legendary ensemble from the instrument. Together, they interpret Rachmaninov’s Variations of the Theme of Paganini and Liszt’s Totentanz, both inspired by the haunting Dies Irae chant from the Gregorian funeral mass. Liszt’s Spanish Rhapsody in an orchestral arrangement by Mikhail Petukhov completes this album focused on some of the most iconic piano repertoire.
