Alexei Vladimirovich Stanchinsky (1888 - 1914)
A pupil of Zhilyayev and Taneyev at the Moscow Conservatory, Alexey Stanchinsky suffered a nervous breakdown after the death of his father in 1910. He thereafter spent time in a monastery and destroyed much of his earlier work before his premature death.
Piano Music
Influenced at first by Mussorgsky and Scriabin, Stanchinsky left a series of interesting and experimental piano compositions that seemed to promise much.
Grand Piano has gained a reputation for producing high quality recordings of rare keyboard gems. Dedicated to the exploration of undiscovered piano repertoire, the label specialises in complete cycles of piano works by many lesser-known composers, whose output might otherwise have remained unknown and unrecorded.
