Par HENSELT ADOLPH. Following his acclaimed first recording of Adolph von Henselt's piano works for Edition Peters Sounds (EPS005), Daniel Grimwood now presents a unique recording of Henselt's complete Études coupled with the complete Préambules. Henselt can truly be considered one of the founding fathers of the Russian School. He counted among his pupils Nicolai Sergeyvich Zverev, the teacher of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. Rachmaninoff considered Henselt's Études the equal of those by Liszt and Chopin for their great beauty. This double album imaginatively places the two sets of Études Op. 2 and Op. 5 alongside Henselt's improvisatory 'Préambules', one in each key, and also includes the Étude in A minor and the Étude Op. 13 No. 2 'La Gondola' together with the Étude 'Au Jardin' that Balakirev composed to honour Henselt's fiftieth anniversary in St Petersburg.

A collection of prose poems by the French Romantic Aloysius Bertrand inspired Ravel to write his piano cycle 'Gaspard de la nuit'. Unlike earlier works he does not merely create an atmospheric depiction of the literarymodel - in a fascinating manner he recounts the eerie-grotesque scenes using musical means. His 'three romantic poems of transcendental virtuosity' were supposed to surpass the technical refinement of Balakirev’s 'Islamey'(HN793) which was considered unplayable at the time. This edition not only offers impeccable Urtext in a clear larger format: the corresponding poem by Bertrand prefaces each part in three languages.

Maurice Ravel Gaspard de la nuit Editeur: Peter Jost Ravel a puisé l'inspiration de son cycle pour piano «Gaspard de la nuit» dans un recueil de poèmes du romantique français Aloysius Bertrand. Contrairement à ses 'uvres précédentes, il ne retrace pas seulement ici les impressions fournies par son modèle littéraire, mais il narre de façon fascinante, par des moyens musicaux, les décors grotesques et lugubres. Ses «trois poèmes romantiques d'une virtuosité transcendante» devaient encore surpasser en raffinement technique «Islamey» de Balakirev, réputé injouable à l'époque. Notre édition offre non seulement un Urtext impeccable sous un format agrandi, clairement ordonné: chaque partie est précédée, en trois langues, du poème correspondant de Bertrand.'
