Digital Booklet

"Nadejda Vlaeva’s mind, fingers and soul totally embrace Vladigerov’s idiom. Her ear for tone colour and her innate sense of controlled Romanticism are exactly what this repertoire needs. Take for example Op 9’s third selection, the ‘Waltz-capriccio’, where Vlaeva’s suppleness and lilt never allow the thicker, busier sequences to bog down for a second. Her subtle pedalling in Op 17’s Elegy creates alluring timbral distinctions between melody and accompaniment. Her sensitive articulation in the same work’s Prelude imparts welcome shape and character to the frequent tremolos and quasi-exotic decorative flourishes. And what a pellucid, limpid touch she brings to Op 9’s gorgeous ‘Confession’, as if the piano’s hammers had been replaced by peacock feathers! … if you’re searching for a gift for the Romantic piano-music maven who has everything, look no further than this delectable album."
- Gramophone
The rich profusion of musical idioms employed by Pancho Vladigerov, filtered through the prism of his dazzlingly virtuoso piano writing, makes for some exciting listening. Nadejda Vlaeva responds thrillingly to the extreme pianistic challenges.
