CLASSICALSOURCE—MUSSORGSKY Pictures at an Exhibition—piano version, orchestral version (orch Ravel) Oleg Marshev pf Odense Symphony Orchestra / Jan Wagner Danacord DACOCD656 (70'.DDD) Although this release is not the first to juxtapose Pictures at an Exhibition in Mussorgsky’s original version for piano with Maurice Ravel’s orchestration of it (Ashkenazy/Mehta, on Decca, and Brendel/Previn, on Philips, spring immediately to mind), it is instructive to have two versions of this popular work side-by-side and, in particular, an opportunity to savour how the composer himself wrote the piece (there are so many transcriptions of it that there is a danger of losing sight of Mussorgsky’s intentions!) Oleg Marshev gives a particularly illuminating account of Mussorgsky’s original (beautifully recorded, too, in its presence, clarity and...
CLASSIC FM—MUSSORGSKY Pictures at an Exhibition—piano version, orchestral version (orch Ravel) Oleg Marshev pf Odense SO/ Jan Wagner Danacord DACOCD656 (70'.DDD) The enterprising Danacord label has come up with the novel (though not unique) idea of coupling the original piano version of Mussorgsky's masterpiece (1874) with Ravel orchestration (1922). Oleg Marshev is on top form with a well-paced, deftly characterised account with startling bursts of virtuosity that can hold its own with the best in a competitive field. By comparison, Wagner and his Odense players are merely staid and workmanlike. Some sluggish tempos ("Tuileries", "Limoges" and the finale) and unimaginative takes on "Bydlo" and "Ballet of the Chicks" do not illuminate the full potential of this wonderful score. Both performances...
GRAMOPHONE—MUSSORGSKY Pictures at an Exhibition—piano version, orchestral version (orch Ravel) Oleg Marshev pf Odense Symphony Orchestra / Jan Wagner Danacord DACOCD656 (70'.DDD) A fascinating opportunity to compare the piano and orchestral Pictures Coupling Mussorgsky's original piano version of Pictures at an Exhibition with Ravel's celebrated orchestral transcription makes for fascinating listening. This is largely because the ferocity of much of Mussorgsky’s piano-writing is tempered by Ravel with a dazzling but typically Gallic elegance. And this makes it no exaggeration to claim that a single instrument comes to exceed the impact of full orchestra. Such ironic grandeur is made abundantly clear by Oleg arshev, whose all-Russian mastery takes nothing for granted providing, even in a crowded marketplace, one of the finest...

Alsion, Sønderborg, Denmark, 3-7 August 2009. DDD DANACORD DACOCD 688 [73:41] I was first introduced to Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor whilst still at school. I had been listening to my girlfriend of that time playing the opening salvos of Grieg's concerto in the same key. I was impressed, naturally, and borrowed the score and an LP recording. The sleeve-notes suggested...
KultuNaut.dk Oleg Marshev in recital kilde: KuItuNaut, Caspar Andreas Dyrehauge Man. 17. nov. 2008 Oleg Marshev spiller overbevisende materialet pв sin nye CD Un recital". Forse og fremmest er det en god blandning af vaerker - polske Chopin, ungarske Liszt og russiske Scriabin - dernaest er det en pianist, der kan noget mere end blot lire ballader af. Marshev er skraemmende god pв tangenterne, og man nyder hans selskab - han har noget pa hjertet. Oleg Marshev far virkelig tangenterne til at danse pв sin nye udgivelse fra det danske pladeselskab Danacord. Hans 3 valse af Chopin er ikke blot velvalgt,men i hoj grad ogsб velspillet. Selvfolgelig er Chopin en yderst prekaer komponist, og hans vaerker er mesterstykker for piano...
The Pianist OLEG MARSHEV IN RECITAL DACOCD 677 In Oleg Marshev's new disc the revelation comes with the Scriabin pieces, which are quite simply ravishing. Oleg Marshev has recorded all of Tchaikovsky's works for piano and orchestra, and is one of the few pianists who has inhis discography more works for piano and orchestra than solo recitals. Critics around the world praise his releases, however, this new recording, made straight after a successful New Zealand concert tour, may be his best. Never has the Liszt Funerailles sounded so devastatingly tragic, the Spanish Rhapsody so super virtuosic and the Chopin so stylish and brilliant. The real revelation comes with the last Scriabin pieces which are quite simply ravishing in their beauty and where one really...
Oleg Marshev displays a super-size virtuosity Oleg Marshev in recital An astonishing release from a pianist perfectly attuned to this repertoire. Chopin Three Waltzes, Op 34. Ballade No 4,Op 52 Liszt Funerailles, S173 No 7. Rhapsodie espagnole, S254. Etudes d'execution transcendante, S139-No 10 Scriabin Mazurkas–Op 25No 3; Op 40 Nos 1 & 2. Poemes, Op 32. Preludes, Op 15. Vers la flamme, Op 72 Oleg Marshev pf Danacord DACOCD677 (79' • DDD) This recital shows Oleg Marshev's formidable powers in a dazzling, ultra-Romantic light. Yet his super-size virtuosity - a place where muscles bulge and ripple - is backed by a no less enthralling musicianship. Marshev's earlier record of the Liszt-Tausig Tasso will have alerted even the most blase virtuoso-fancier to exceptional powers and here in the Rhapsodie espagnole he...
International Record Review PABST Piano Concerto in E fiat RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Piano Concerto in C sharp minor SCRIABIN Piano Concerto in F sharp minor Oleg Marshev (piano); South Jutland SO/Vladimir Ziva Danacord DACOCD 660 73:52 mins. Producer Lennart Dehn. Engineer Stephan Flock Listening to these captivating performances, with all concerned playing as though they believed in every note, reminded me of Vox's 1970s heyday in the UK on Decca Turnabout when 99p would buy you Michel Ponti playing Balakirev, Lyapunov or Tchaikovsky's Second with a scorching abandon and imperativeness that in many ways has never been surpassed on disc.
