Grigori (Grigory) Samuilovich Frid was a distinguished member of the generation
of composers born in Russia just before the Revolution of 1917. Frid’s
significant corpus of piano music can trace its lineage to Tchaikovsky,
Mussorgsky and Stravinsky, and his skill in conjuring entire worlds in music can
be heard throughout this recording. His albums of Children’s Pieces are
rich in gems that evoke poetic nostalgia, seasonal moods and witty pictorial
descriptions that genuinely transcend their didactic purpose. In these world
première recordings, distinguished pianist Elisaveta Blumina reveals
Frid’s extraordinary character – a gifted composer, pedagogue and
artist who lived his life to the full, despite many personal setbacks and
difficulties.
