Complete Mazurkas Op 3, 25 & 40

"More Skriabin, in excellent sound, from Bulgarian-born Marta Deyanova. This is her third Skriabin disc for Nimbus, on which she tackles Ten Mazurkas, Op.3 and Nine Mazurkas, Op. 25 plus Two Mazurkas Op. 40 - being all his Mazurkas. She is an articulate communicator and, like Richter, gives performances of great authority: the music is revealed for what it is." CLASSIC CD ***** "Forceful and unapologetic performances ... These are all short works; but with her dark bass-dominated tone, her flexible rubato, her sensual weaving of the music's often intricate counterpoint ... and most of all her urgent phrasing, Deyanova refuses to treat them as miniatures. Recommended." FANFARE *****
