About

Although the originality of Georgi Catoire’s musical language paved the way for Russian modernism, his output still followed the artistic ideals of Russia and not the new culture of the Soviet Republic. His highly expressive work is characterised by polyphonic density, heightened expressiveness, variety of colour, and a wide rhythmic and harmonic mix. Catoire’s music was rarely performed in his day, his name being largely unknown. He left behind 36 works, including symphonic pieces, a Piano Concerto, chamber music, songs and piano cycles. This music was written in the fin de siècle style, that combined brilliance and nobility with fragility.

“Now I have come across someone who really has a great creative talent.” – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, 1885
