Five years have passed since the recording of \"Inventions and Sinfonias\". The recordings of \"Romantic Bach\" and \"Pearl of Bach Masterpieces\" (simultaneously released on NCS88043), which were made during Nicolaeva's visit to Japan, are now available on SACD with the latest mastering, including a review of the power supply and equipment, in the presence of Tomoo Nojima, the recording director at the time. A retrospective by Mr. Nojima and liner notes by Yoshiko Ikuma, who had interviewed Mr. Nojima at that time, are also included.\n\n\n\nNikolaeva won the Leipzig Johann Sebastian Bach International Competition held in 1950 to commemorate the bicentennial of his death, and since then she has gained an international reputation as a leading Bach performer. Shostakovich, who was selected as a juror at the aforementioned competition, was greatly impressed by Nikolayeva's performance and composed \"24 Preludes and Fugues\" in 1951 (premiered in 1952), which is said to represent Soviet piano music in the 20th century, and dedicated the work to Nikolayeva.Nikolaeva made many recordings for the Melodia label and visited Japan frequently to record Bach's works with Victor. The recording of the works, initially as a joint production with Melodia and later as original recordings for Victor, began in 1977, and five albums (counting the average as one) were left behind from 1982 to 1991 with an intervening period. After the first recording in 1977, the sessions were recorded at the Imaichi Cultural Hall in Nikko, near where Nikolaeva herself preferred to stay at the time. Later, Victor recorded Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 live with Nikolaeva as the soloist at the \"Tchaikovsky Last Concert\" conducted by Fedoseyev in Osaka in 1993 (available as a SACD hybrid disc of this project in 2022 on NCS88013 NCS88013). Nikolaeva died the following year, so this disc was her last recording with Victor.\n\n(1\/3)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VICTOR X TOWER RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598180581665,"sku":"4988002948598","price":213.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988002948598.jpg?v=1755223274","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-no\/products\/4988002948598","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
