Programme notes:
A series of “colour” pieces – this is an album of improvisations, which have never been transcribed. Each piece has a particular essence, which provides a ‘springboard’ for the pianist. This essence is variously a progression of chords, melodies, or rhythms etc. During a performance, each piece can develop in a completely unexpected direction, even mutate into another idea entirely. Each improvisation is therefore completely unique; it cannot be repeated due to the lack of notation.
Usually the “colours” in this cycle signify the direction of a thought; they do not necessarily or solely correspond to visual “colours”.
St James’s is grateful for the generous support of Rolex for this music programme.
Artist bio
A Ukrainian composer and pianist Vladyslav Kuznetsov began to study music at the age of eight. In 2013 he entered the National Music Academy of Ukraine in Kyiv to join the composers’ faculty, graduating initially with a master’s degree and later a PhD. His studies were interrupted by the Russian war in Ukraine in 2022. As a result, Vladyslav relocated to London where he was accepted onto the postgraduate Piano Performance course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Vladyslav is a member of the National Union of Composers of Ukraine. His numerous compositions include three piano concertos. He has collaborated with many musical ensembles including the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine and performed extensively throughout Ukraine and other countries, including the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, France and Germany.
