ABRSM: Lyadov – Preludes, Trifles and Other Pieces For Cheap

Anatol Lyadov (1855-1914) was a Russian composer, conductor, teacher, and collector and arranger of folksongs. Although he wrote few large-scale works, he did compose numerous piano miniatures which – many imbued with a quiet melancholy while others revealing a vein of delicate humour – abound in lyrical charm. Eighteen of these are collected in this album to provide varied moderate to difficult repertoire for the pianist.
