Description:

A unique lullaby album by a mother of two, a collection of various lullabies played on the piano by Gennew Schene, second prize winner of the Van Cliburn International Competition 2022. It is interesting to note that although it is a lullaby album, it does not include famous pieces by Chopin, Brahms, Mozart, and Schubert, but names of unexpected composers such as Casella, Satie, Busoni, Hindemith, Liszt, Weinberg, Dutilleux, Levikoff, Granados, Mompou, and Deshatnikov. It is interesting to see such unexpected composers as Shostakovich's "The Joy of Man" and Shostakovich's "Elegy" from "The Human Comedy" and George Crumb's "Infant Jesus" from "Little Suite for Christmas" are not lullabies, but seem to have been chosen because they are quiet, gentle, and beautiful pieces. The booklet includes a commentary by Anna Gänüschene herself in English. ＜Anna Gennyshene (Piano) was born in Moscow in 1991.He began playing the piano at the age of five and made his recital debut at the age of eight in the small hall of the Philharmonie in Berlin, and since then has performed in the world's major concert halls, including the Town Hall in Leeds, the National Concert Hall in Dublin, the Museum of Fine Arts in Tel Aviv, the Carlo Felice Theater in Genoa, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory of Music, and the Sala Greppi in Bergamo.
