This is the first edition of ‘Recently discovered artist’ and it is all about one artist. This edition is all about Kirill Troussov. I discovered him last year, in 2019. Since then, I love to hear him playing and following him on social media.
I haven’t been to any of his concerts live, but that is in the planning.
Since listening to Kirill Troussov, I also have discovered little and cute pieces I have never heard of. And I know a lot of violin work (since playing the violin myself at the age of 7).
These pieces Kirill Troussov plays in this edition will be on my list to play myself.
Music that Kirill Troussov plays, and I haven’t heard of:
Faust: Fantasie Brillante, op. 20.
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, arr. Efrim Zimbalist: Fantasie on a theme ‘Der Goldene Hahn’
César Franck: Mélancolie for violin and piano, E-minor, FWV. 10
