Anyone familiar with pianist Ekaterina Derzhavina?
Profil/Haenssler releases a 9 CD box of Haydn next month, so I'm curious about the pianist's artistry and/or any opinions others have. Only other CDs I've seen are of Medtner.

has been subject of other positive commentary on the newsgroup in the
past. I remember also some of her Haydn on the radio and thought it
was similarly good. The Medtner sits in my bought-with-high-
expectations-but-haven't-heard-yet pile.

The fact that she does not concertize in the US and
that her recordings have appeared only on small ill distributed labels
has kept her from being better known here. I'm not in the market
right now for a box of Haydn piano recordings but I'll be very
interested to see reviews when it arrives.

I have a number of recordings by her that I obtained through the
Classical Music Archives, back when membership allowed downloading of
anything they had for no extra charge. I don't have any strong feelings

In article <3da92fe5-5e38-4b2d...@googlegroups.com>,
The Goldbergs are very nicely played, but after four or five hearings, I
decided they weren't compelling enough to hold onto. But I'll certainly
be interested in hearing her Haydn.
Dershavina was scheduled for the Williams College summer piano festival
in Massachusetts about eight years ago and I drove up. She was a no-show
because, it turned out, the U.S. hadn't admitted her into the country.
There was a lot of this going on at the time. I guess she must have been
carrying some Bach and Mozart scores, or even Tchaikovsky, which would
have posed a threat to national security.
Knowing about 2/3 of it, I'd say that a nicely boxed-up issue of
Timofeyeva's complete Haydn cycle on Melodiya would be as or more
promising than this; but it's to be applauded nevertheless.

Seconded. One of my favorites on piano.

There are several fine examples of Timofeyeva on YouTube. Based on a
relatively polite Mozart Sonata (K281), I wasn't particularly
confident that she would be interesting in Haydn, but she is
brilliantly imaginative and free with the middle movement of the Haydn
concerto in D major--in something like the romantic approach that
Dershavina applies to Bach, but very fitting to Haydn. The sonata
movements on that site are almost at that level. I imagine a Haydn set
of Timofeyeva's would be excellent.
Clicking on the "related videos" links led to yet another seemingly
noteworthy Russian Goldbergs...the pianist is listed as Alexander
Muravyov. Do you know anything about him?

Don't know him. But relatedly, after the posts here when Merzhanov died,
I spent some time on Youtube and came upon a number of interesting
Russian pianists previously unknown to me. And non-Russian pianists
connected to him pedagogically. Such as Anahit Nersesyan and Hideyo
Harada, whose playing of a Feinberg sonata I liked. Merzhanov was a
Feinberg student.
Thanks for the alert on Timofeyeva's Haydn concerto, which I haven't
heard.

You have another shot at hearing her--she's scheduled to play at the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale on Thursday, March 28 at 8 pm.
