On Etudes & Frames, pianist Tamara Stefanovich presents the music of contemporary master Vassos Nicolaou. In his etudes, Nicolaou uses virtuosity as a means to explore forms consisting of complex rhythms, great speed, and multi-layered sound. Each of the fifteen etudes has a meaningful title and focuses on specific geometric choreographic movements of the hands on the keyboard as well as a basic acoustic idea. For Stefanovich, this set has a structural integrity not seen since Ligeti’s etudes. Nicolaou’s etudes are paired with Frames for two pianos, in which Stefanovich is accompanied by Pierre-Laurent Aimard. Stefanovich studied with Nicolaou and has been a major proponent of his music ever since. Dedicating an entire album to his music is a dream come true.
