Some more of Anatol Liadov's expertly crafted piano miniatures, recorded this morning. The Op.15 Mazurkas are re-recordings.

Liadov - Op.15 - Two Mazurkas - 1: Mazurka in A major (1:14)
Liadov - Op.15 - Two Mazurkas - 2: Mazurka in D minor (1:11)
Liadov - Op.17 - Two Bagatelles - 1: Suffering (2:14)
Liadov - Op.17 - Two Bagatelles - 2: Pastorale (1:44)
Liadov - Op.21 - Ballade "From bygone days" (5:00)

Very good! Liked everyone of them. Advertised on twitter.

Yes, these are nice! The mazurkas sound folk-influenced. The opening of the second Bagatelle is very pretty and the piano sound particularly suits it.

Thank you for introducing these pieces, Chris! They have a quite different character than that of the preludes which are already on the site. I didn't know it before, so this is a discovery to me. And the Ballade is a very impressing piece!

Thanks all for the replies !

Hi Chris,

I listened to the two Bagatelles and Ballade. All are very nicely played, so I really enjoyed listening. Liadov was a very fine craftsman. Once playing his music it's hard to break away from it.

Thanks David. I though you'd like these (except the Mazurkas of course ).
