Peter Jablonski on the piano music of Alexei Stanchinsky

Friday, March 26, 2021

The Swedish pianist champions the works of a little-known Russian composer

The Swedish pianist Peter Jablonski has recently released an album for Ondine of piano music by the Russian composer Alexei Stanchinsky (1888-1914). James Jolly caught up with Jablonski at his home in Stockholm to talk about this all-but-forgotten musician and what drew him to his music.

Peter Jablonski, who was signed to Decca in his late teens, also reflects on how his career largely dictated his recorded repertoire – until quite recently – and how he has been using the fallow period of lockdown when concerts have ceased to explore new repertoire.

Gramophone Podcasts are presented in association with Wigmore Hall, where the music continues despite lockdown with two streamed concerts every weekday during Holy Week, except Good Friday, from Monday, March 29 (find full details of the week's concerts at the bottom of this page). To watch, or donate, please visit the Wigmore Hall's website.
