Artist: Anna Geniushene (piano)

Anna Geniushene’s fresh, layered, and powerful interpretations won her a worldwide following at the 2022 edition of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, where she took Silver Medal with a stunning account of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto which the critic for Gramophone compared in its power and nuance to Van Cliburn himself.

Born in Moscow, Anna Geniushene pursued graduate studies in London and now lives in Lithuania with her husband, the pianist Lukas Geniusas. In her own booklet introduction, she explains the inspiration for this quirky collection of instrumental lullabies. The Berceuse is ‘associated with tenderness, care, purest love, and the most sensitive moments in our lives.’ She dedicates the album to her two young sons.

Perhaps the most celebrated Berceuse of all, by Chopin, is missing, because it was Anna Geniushene’s particular wish to find and share neglected examples of the genre, even by well-known composers. Debussy composed the Berceuse heroique during the First World War as a tribute to the soldiers on the Western Front. The Berceuse Elegiaque of Busoni is better known in its orchestral guise. The brief Berceuse by Hindemith, unpublished in his lifetime, ‘draws listeners’ attention by its utterly eloquent and typically sarcastic character, which has nothing in common with traditional lullabies.’

The sheer diversity of composers makes for a continually varied sequence. George Crumb evokes a magical night-time stillness with a minimum of notes. Mompou’s Berceuse is likewise remarkable for its distilled serenity, whereas the examples by Granados, John Field and Liszt bring comfort with more Romantically moulded melodies in the tradition of Chopin. Anna Geniushene closes the album with two Russian Berceuses, by Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky, lyrical, simple and utterly beguiling in her hands.
