This fourth volume in Nicholas Walkers complete edition of Balakirevs piano music is structured around his three scherzos, which take us from the youthful influence of Chopin and Liszt in the first scherzo, to the music of his prolific final decade, from which the second scherzo is one of his finest compositions. Balakirevs interest in Spanish music was kindled by his mentor Glinka, creating surprisingly authentic sounding textures and rhythms, and the programme is topped with the elegantly masterful poetry of the two valse-caprices.
