Leningrad 1934 Preludes for Piano by Jeroen Riemsdijk published on 2017-03-24T23:10:20Z Dmitri Shostakovich 24 Preludes opus 34 (1934) Valery Zhelobinsky 24 Preludes opus 20 (1934)Premiere recording! (Valary Jelobinsky) Jeroen Riemsdijk, piano Valery Zhelobinsky (Tambov, 1913 – Leningrad, 1946) Almost forgotten Russian composer studied and lived during his short life in Leningrad. He composed three Piano Concertos and several Operas. Shostakovich praised Zhelobinsky highly. Dmitri Shostakovich (1906, Sint-Petersburg-1975, Moskou) The preludes are small works of a brilliant composer, who infused them with sarcasm, irony and explosive grotesque moments. Nevertheless the Preludes are full of dynamic subtleties in the softer parts and therefore as well the lyrical character could be emphasized.
