Author: John Warrack
The lively, idiomatic performances here are a welcome reminder of how good a composer Liadov was within his self-imposed constraints: as well as being lazy, he was highly self-critical and realized well that he was by nature a composer with a short wind. The enchanted lake, his other best-known piece, is also admirably played here and serves to underline his gift for sensitive harmonic effects and, again, his subtle hand with the orchestra. Of the various dances, all tuneful and well put together, the most striking is the Op. 49 Polonaise, which sets off at a vigorous stride and has a first-rate tune in its 'trio' section. The Apocalypse fragment confirms that Liadov was at his best when not inflating himself beyond his natural stature (which was also physically small). The recording does excellent justice to the colour and facture of these most attractive pieces by ''one of the most progressive musicians of his generation'' (Stravinsky again), and is a very welcom issue which should not be missed by any lover of Russian music.'
