Leokadiya Kashperova Levi Igor Stravinsky Glazounov Scriabine Tchaïkovski 1899 1902 2020
Kashperova, une compositrice russe à découvrir – un projet d’offrir pour la première fois, un enregistrement de sa sonate pour piano et violoncelle en sol majeur au grand public. Discovering Kashperova – A project to create the first internationally available recording of her sonata for piano and cello in G major. Ces derniers temps nous permettent (nous obligent même) de sortir de nos habitudes et nos emplois de temps habituels—ce qui a conduit David Levi et Susan Edward à se lancer dans la recherche du répertoire pour violoncelle et piano. These past months have permitted or rather obliged us all to modify our lives and our daily routines. For David Levi and Susan Edward, an unexpected benefit of this period has been the chance to spend time exploring the repertoire for cello and piano duos. Trouvaille extraordinaire ! Une sonate en sol majeur par Leokadiya Kashperova, compositrice russe peu connue tant en France qu’à l’étranger. En juillet 2020 Susan et David ont présenté le 1èr mouvement dans un concert. Suite à la réaction enthousiaste du public, Susan et David ont senti l’importance de faire découvrir cette œuvre à une audience plus grande : le projet d’enregistrement est né. One of the fruits of their research was the extraordinary discovery of the Sonata in G Major by Leokadiya Kashperova, a Russian composer, virtually unknown both in her own country and abroad. In July 2020 Susan and David performed the first movement in concert. Inspired by the enthusiastic response of the audience, Susan and David decided to commit themselves to bringing this work to a larger public. And thus the idea of a recording project was born. Comment mettre en lumière cette musique de chambre—mélodique, élégante et passionnée à la fois, et tellement bien construite ? Quelques recherches sur la vie de Leokadiya Kashperova ont suffi à révéler qu'à l’époque elle était loin d’être invisible, même si maintenant son nom n’est pas connu. Professeur de piano d’Igor Stravinsky de 1899 – 1902 (elle avait 27 ans, lui 17 ans), elle lui a transmis une technique virtuose et solide. Il en a fait hommage dans sa biographie, sans penser de préciser son nom. En plus d’enseigner au Conservatoire de St Pétersbourg, elle était appréciée en tant que soliste, renommée pour son jeu sonore, avec des concerts à Berlin et Londres. Elle était l’interprète préférée de Glazounov. Although now her name is hard to find in the history books, during her lifetime Leokadiya Kashperova was a well known soloist and piano teacher. Igor Stravinsky was among her students at the St Petersburg Conservatory when she was 27 and he was 17. He recognised her excellent teaching in his biography and credited her with creating his piano technique, all the while failing to mention her by name. She also composed several orchestral works (symphonies and concertos) and performed as a soloist as far afield as Berlin and London, where critics remarked on the quality of her sound. Glazunov would always try to have her give the premieres of his compositions. Pour mieux illuminer la musique de Kashperova, Susan et David se sont mis à explorer l’univers musical de la Russie à la fin du 19ème siècle et les compositeurs qui auraient pu se croiser dans les salons musique de chambre à Saint Pétersbourg et Moscou. En plus de l’Elégie de Glazounov, ils vont enregistrer la Romance de Scriabine, et un arrangement de leur propre main de l’air de Tatiana, de l’opéra Eugène Onéguine de Tchaïkovski. Wishing to illuminate Kashperova’s melodic, elegant, passionate and well constructed chamber music, Susan and David began to explore the Russian musical universe of the 1890s and the composers who could have been present in the chamber music salons in St Petersburg and Moscow. Knowing that Glazunov admired Kashperova, they will record his Elegy, as well as a Romance by Scriabin. They will include their own arrangement of Tatiana’s Letter Aria from Tchaikovsky’s Eugène Onegin. Afin de réaliser ce projet, Susan et David disposent de la magnifique salle de concert à Caillavet dans le Gers, endroit propice à enregistrer leur programme. Néanmoins un bon ingénieur du son ainsi qu'un matériel d'enregistrement de qualité sont nécessaires pour rendre à Kashperova l’honneur qu'elle mérite. In order to bring this project to fruition, Susan and David are lucky to have at their disposal the lovely concert hall in Caillavet in Gascony, which has perfect acoustics for recording. However, they will require the services of a good sound engineer/artistic director, well versed in classical music, and are therefore asking for financial support to cover the cost of this expert as well as for his or her high quality technical equipment. Nous serions ravis de votre participation et de votre soutien ! We would be thrilled and delighted to have your participation and support ! (http•••) Vidéo : Brian Edward

1 - Andante; 2 - Allegro moderato / There are several prominent female Russian composers of the post-war era - Gubaidulina, Ustvolskaya and Firsova come to mind - but here in the UK one rarely hears of Russian woman composers prominent in earlier eras. One exception seems to have been Leocadia Kashperova ( Леокадия Александровна Кашперова )+••.••(...)). She is probably remembered now - if at all - for having been a piano teacher of Alexander Tcherepnin at the St. Petersburg conservatory, but she herself had studied there with Anton Rubinstein, and was an associate of Balakirev and Glazunov, some of whose works she premiered. She married a revolutionary and moved to Rostov-on-Don in 1918, but settled in Moscow in 1922. Kashperova wrote a piano concerto, a cantata, and two cello sonatas, as well as piano music. These pieces - 'Two Autumn Leaves' - come from a collection called СРЕДИ ПРИРОДЫ (= 'In Nature' - the published French title is used for the video), dedicated to the composer's sister. The first piece seems reminiscent of Lyapunov, but the energy and directness of expression of the second piece looks ahead to the Prokofiev of the 'Visions Fugitives'. / Played by Phillip Sear (http•••) (Email: •••@••• WhatsApp: (http•••) )

Composer: Alexander Nikolayevich Tcherepnin (21 January 1899 / 29 September 1977) was a Russian-born composer and pianist. His father, Nikolai Tcherepnin (pupil of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov) and his son, Ivan Tcherepnin were also composers, as are two of his grandsons, Sergei and Stefan. His son Serge was involved in the roots of electronic music and instruments. His mother was a member of the artistic Benois family, a niece of Alexandre Benois. He was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and played the piano and composed prolifically from a very early age. He was stimulated in this activity by the atmosphere at home, which--thanks to his family's Benois-Diaghilev connection--was a meeting place for many well-known musicians and artists of the day. By the time he began formal theory and composition studies in his late teens, he had already composed hundreds of pieces, including more than a dozen piano sonatas. Among his teachers in Russia were composer Victor Belyayev (pupil of Anatoly Lyadov and Alexander Glazunov), who prepared Tcherepnin for St. Petersburg Conservatory; Leocadia Kashperova (renowned pianist, protégée of Anton Rubinstein); and his professor at the Conservatory Nikolay Sokolov (pupil of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov). Notably at that time Tcherepnin's mentor was famous musicologist Alexander Ossovsky, who also was a friend of his father. His works were influenced by composer Alexander Spendiarov.
