Reflections marks the first recording on Decca Classics of Russian
pianist Arseny Tarasevich-Nikolaev, second prize winner at both the 2013
Cleveland International Piano Competition and the 2016 Sydney
International Piano Competition.
The album features Russian classics including Rachmaninov's Moments
Musicaux, Prokofiev's Visions fugitives, and pieces by Scriabin, Medtner
and Tchaikovsky. Of the album, Arseny says that it is very special and
precious to him, observing that "it's a bit like an old magic mirror —
maybe a false one — which has seen a few generations passing by, and
contains memories of all of them."
The album also pays homage to
the music of Arseny's grandmother, internationally acclaimed pianist
and composer Tatiana Nikolayeva.

develop in his career" - Dr. Alexander Buhr, Decca Classics
