Album Notes

DreamboxMedia proudly announces the release of The Russian Romantic Flute.
In this new recording, Haynes Artist Inna Gilmore delves into her heritage to explore a world of Russian and Soviet post-romantic music rarely heard in the West. Featured works include rarities such as Sergei Vasilenko’s charming and evocative Springtime Suite, Vladimir Tsybin’s Four Concert Etudes and majestic Concerto Allegro No. 2, as well as works by Gliere, Lyadov, and Rachmaninoff. As a protégé of Alexander Korneyev, Moscow Conservatory professor of flute and renowned artist who premiered Vasilenko’s Suite nearly half a century ago and was himself a pupil of Tsybin, Ms. Gilmore claims a direct lineage to the present works.

Since her début as a concerto soloist at Tchaikovsky Philharmonic Hall, Ms. Gilmore has appeared regularly as a soloist and orchestral member in the Moscow Autumn Music Festival, premièred new compositions in the Moscow Hall of Composers, and won numerous prizes and awards. After immigrating to America, Ms. Gilmore formed a Duo with her husband, pianist Brian Gilmore. Together they have concertized throughout the Tri-State area, won prizes in International competitions, appeared on Radio programs and will be presenting repertoire from their newly released CD at the 2011 NFA convention in North Carolina.
