Catoire: Piano Music

• NEW - MARC-ANDRE HAMELIN - CATOIRE PIANO MUSIC - CD CD

This mid-priced Helios series reissue features pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin performing music by Russian composer Georgy Catoire. Catoire was one of a large number of composers who flourished in pre-Revolutionary Russia at the turn of the twentieth century. Primarily a miniaturist, most of his pieces can be described as mood pictures, using sophisticated harmonic structures that give his style an especially cosmopolitan feel.
