Thanks, Harry, for letting us know. Keep them coming! Brilliant's website is for quite some time now woefully inadequate in the simple task of alerting the public of the company's new releases.

And also not in providing PDF downloads of booklets missing from their boxes!

I brought it to their attention, and they are seriously thinking about doing this in the future.

It used to be DG reference recordings of this material, the LaSalle were one of the worldleaders in the 70ies in this kind of stuff.

Well it was but only for a short time, it was released on DGG for a budget price, and I bought it then.

[Wanderer]

Now, time to talk to them about CPO GMG member discounts!

There's an idea...! 

[haydnguy]

You know one thing they could do, Harry, is set up a blog where they announce their new releases. Everyone could subscribe to the blog via RSS and would immediately be notified of the new releases without having to go to a website. (It also wouldn't cost them a dime to do it!)

Not sure when this gets released (does anyone know?)

MARIA YUDINA, Russian Archives Cat.No.: 8909
EAN Code: 5029365890922
Format: 8 CD
Label: Brilliant Classics
Composer: Various

Performed by:
Maria Yudina

Additional information:
Maria Yudina was born in 1899 and died in 1970. She studied with Frida Teitelbaum-Levinson, a pupil of Anton Rubinstein, and with Anna Esipova, a pupil of the great keyboard lion Theodor Leschetizky. Her studies included composition, conducting, organ, philosophy, languages and literature – augmenting all of this with extra studies with Felix Blumenthal, teacher of Vladimir Horowitz. She herself spent most of her life teaching.

She was a persistent thorn in Stalin's side – she is quoted as saying to him that she 'would pray for his salvation'. Banned from performing for five years for reciting Pasternak in place of giving encores, during the 1930s, she was forced to sleep rough in Moscow. She did, however, manage to escape the Gulags, and during the 1948 purges defended Shostakovich. For some reason Stalin turned a blind eye on her.

Following the death of Stalin, she was permitted to tour 'safe' countries in the Eastern Bloc – often with Shostakovich. As a result of all this she remains an elusive figure in the history of pianists, absent altogether from Harold Schonberg's respected 'The Great Pianists' of 1963.

This 7CD set is a unique opportunity to experience a great artist who suffered deprivation, and political and artistic repression. A fearless character and tenacious spirit can be heard in these recordings. Her repertoire ranged from her beloved Bach, to Bartok, Hindemith and Xenakis via the classical and Russian schools.

Further information
• Composers featured: Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Mussorgsky, Liszt, Brahms, Schubert, Taneyev, Prokofiev, Debussy, Stravinsky, Lutoslawski, Szymanowski, Hindemith, Honegger, Shaporin, Martinu, Jolivet
• Extensive booklet essay by Ates Orga
• A fascinating discovery and of interest to all scholars and enthusiasts of the piano
• Recordings date from the 1940s, 50s and 60s
• Few of her recordings remain available, so this release fills an important gap in the catalogue, and provides a fascinating insight of the life of an artist during the darkest years of the Soviet Union

[Cleo Telerín]

Yudina played Xenakis' music? Hindemith, Honegger, Martinu, Jolivet, Lutoslawski, Szymanowski... I'm really looking forward to listen to this set!

You and me both!
