NOTICE - 22nd JUNE 09
Hello again. You may have realised that I have not been uploading videos recently, that was because of the Y7 exams I had to do. But they are over now, so I can spend loads of time uploading videos. So now I am uploading the second part of the Little Known Composers series, but you can also expect more of the Best Pianists series, more of the Little Known Composers series and Part 4 of the Best Piano Concertos Series!

VIDEO INFOMATION!
This video is dedicated to my good friend Reuben as a thank you for introducing me to this fantastic composer! Please visit his channel at DarkRaimundo.
Sergei Bortkiewicz is probably best known for his piano music. Half of this video is dedicated to three of his solo piano pieces, and the other half of the video is dedicated to my favourite of his pieces, his First Piano Concerto. Please rate and comment this video! Enjoy!

  • Very lyrical composer without the sensuality of a Rachmaninov or the sometimes overpowering gloomy mood of Scriabin. Bortkiewicz sounds more like a sort of Ukrainien Grieg by the beauty of his inspiration and his descriptive talent.

    Excellent idea to put this little known composer in the spotlight.

  • I must disagree strongly; although one gets hints of other composers certainly, in his output (Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and even Brahms), he had his own unique and wonderful voice.

  • i got to know this composer just a few months ago, his piano music is wonderful. Thanks Earthatic for posting this video and making people know Bortkiewicz!

  • @svetlomirzlatkov sorry i was wrong! :D

  • @svetlomirzlatkov actually it's the second one.. what you probably think to be the second is actually the continuation of the initial Capriccio

  • @illusion484 Capriccio Op.3 no.1 in F sharp minor, from "Four pieces for piano"

  • this is not one peace....nice compositions!

  • I am hooked on this composer. Can't get enough. Do you have any op.13 preludes?
