About the album…
The many CDs of pianist Hande Dalkilic featuring Turkish composers, along with being the pianist that performed the premiere of many these composers’ works, have made her known as “the artist that protects and develops Turkish piano heritage”. Her CDs are: “Solo Piano Works” by Ahmed Adnan Saygun (BMP) Piano Concerto Op.34 Nr.1 by Ahmed Adnan Saygun (BMP), “Variations on an Istanbul Song” for Piano and Orchestra by Cemal Resit Rey, “Country Colors” by Muammer Sun (KALAN), “Complete Works for Solo Piano” by Ulvi Cemal Erkin (KALAN), “Tunes of the Upper Euphrates” by Cetin Isikozlu (KALAN). In this album, there are the music of the composers known as representatives of the Romantic period, the poet virtuosos of piano, Frederic Chopin, as well as Franz Liszt and Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Under the title “My Favorite Romantics”, we find some of Hande Dalkilic’s favorite pieces of the Romantic Age, which she performs in her concerts.
The three examples of the Mazurka Series Op.6, Op.24, Op.33, the second Nocturne F sharp minor of Op. 15 Nocturne series, and the two Polonaises, which are composed in contrasting characters are the results of the inspiration of Polish composer and piano virtuoso F. Chopin’s yearning for his motherland and are some of the most beautiful examples of Romantic Age. Chopin (1810-1849) the poet of the piano, composed fifty-nine Mazurkas (fifty-eight of them have been published) starting in 1825, until his death. These are the traditional Polish folk dances and Polonaises, of which, the first one was composed when he was only 7 years old. They occupy a very special and broad part in his music. The composer did not rewrite the existing traditional music for piano but was inspired by Poland’s national music and transferred it to piano with his own expressions and feelings. During the years 1827-1846 he composed 21 Nocturnes for solo piano, the Nocturne Op.15. Nr.2 which features in this album is one of the most often performed Nocturnes.
Another representative of piano music of 19th century is Franz Liszt (1811-1886), the Hungarian composer, piano virtuoso and conductor. His work named “Funérailles” is the 7th piece included in the series “Harmonies poétiques et religieuses” and the most well-known one. This elegiac work was composed in October 1849, after the revolution attempt against the Hapsburg occupation in Hungary. The base sounds which take place in the mid part of Funérailles remind us of the octaves of Chopin’s Polonaise Heroique, and there is a theory that Liszt composed this piece for his friend’s passing away in 1849. However, it has been stated that he dedicated it to his three friends who died during the revolution in 1848, Prince Felix Lichnowsky, Count Laszlo Teleki and Hungarian Prime Minister Count Lajos Batthyany.
Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869), American composer and pianist, is well known as the virtuoso interpreter of romantic piano music and he has been called “America’s Chopin”. Because of his concerts, he spent most of his time abroad and the two works included in this album were composed during his eighteen-month concert tour in Spain (1851-1852). Among the works he collected under the name “Music from Spain”, “Manchega” Concert Etude is the one composed in Sevilla and has a character which reminds of a Mexican street band sound and requires the two hands on piano to play independently while performing opposite rhythms. The other piece of “Music from Spain” is “Souvenirs d’Andalusie” Caprice de Concert. It was created during one of his concerts as an improvisation in Madrid on December 1851. In the piece there are the traditional tunes and dance forms of Andalusia such as fandango, cana and jaleo de Jerez. The famous theme is in the form of fandango which has been used also by Glinka in his Capriccio Brillante on the Jota Aragonesa, and in more recent years by Ernesto Lecuona in his “Malaguena”.
