Pavane celebrates its 40th anniversary with a new collection: Pavane Anthologia. The first four titles are available now and consist of reissues of acclaimed recordings of the catalogue. All four were no longer available for a while and are now offered once again at very special price. The present release is the third recording in the new series. Yevgeny Moguilevsky is a brilliant pianist who studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Heinrich Neuhaus. In 1964, he won the first Prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition where the jury and the public were charmed, as much by his artistic qualities as his admirable technique. This triumph was followed by many invitations to perform throughout the world, but he was restrained by the Soviet regime and not permitted to perform in the West. Finally, in 1987, he was allowed to serve as a member of the jury of the Queen Elisabeth Competition. This recording, made in 1991, was the first one he did in the West.
