In 2022, 19-year-old pianist Roman Borisov became the youngest winner of the prestigious Kissinger KlavierOlymp competition. After taking part in Alpha’s ‘Next Generation Mozart Soloists’ collection (ALPHA991), he now presents his first solo recital in Alpha’s ongoing ‘Piano Stories’ series, which he sees as a ‘conversation with the past’, featuring composers inspired by earlier styles to create new works. Born in 1870, the brilliant virtuoso pianist Leopold Godowsky composed twenty-four ‘free arrangements’ of music by masters of the Baroque. Among these, Roman Borisov has selected pieces based on works by Rameau, Corelli, Scarlatti and John Loeillet (whose pieces were originally mis-attributed to Lully)… In 1931, Rachmaninov composed his last original work for solo piano: a set of variations on ‘La Folia’, a 15th-century dance theme that Corelli famously used in one of his violin sonatas. The encounter between the Baroque style and the harmonic richness of the Russian composer is fascinating. The superb Prelude, Chorale and Fugue composed by César Franck in 1884, an obvious tribute to J.S. Bach, concludes Roman’s pianistic journey through time.
