Glasunows Drei Studien, op. 31, gehören zu den wichtigsten Klavierarbeiten. Zusammen mit vielen seiner instrumentalen Opusnummern, wurden sie einzeln geschrieben. Die dritte Studie mit dem Untertitel „Nacht“ war als erste vollendet worden und trägt das Datum 22. März 1889. Es ist sonderbar, dass das Stück nur seine zweite große Pianokomposition ist und markiert Glasunows Rückkehr zu diesem Medium nach fünf Jahren. Möglicherweise war sein Selbstbewusstsein durch das Zusammentreffen mit Liszt 1884 geschwächt worden—Glasunow war nie mehr als ein mittelmäßiger Pianist und dazu gezwungen worden, seine frühen Pianosuiten vor einem versammelten Publikum bestehend aus Pianisten und Komponisten (einschließlich Saint-Saëns und Liszt persönlich) zu spielen. Nichtdestotrotz ist es eine wundervoll geschriebene und heraufbeschwörende Arbeit, die zusammen mit den anderen zwei Studien den Gipfel russischer virtuoser Klavierkompositionen ausmacht.
This second volume begins with the Three Études. These are among Glazunov's most important works for the piano and stand at the pinnacle of Russian virtuoso piano writing. The main work represented is the Theme and Variations, Op 72, which uses as the theme for fifteen variations the same folk-song as Glazunov's later Finnish Fantasy for orchestra. The work was written in the same year as the first piano sonata and is undoubtedly one of Glazunov's most successful forays into the piano medium. The others pieces on this disc comes from the first and last years of the composer's life: from the early compositional attempts which so impressed Balakirev when Glazunov was thirteen, to the Two Prelude-Improvisations, written is his final period as a composer as he struggled to keep up with the new Russian avant-garde.
'A dazzling series of salon and genre pieces full of the easy charm and winning tunefulness that also mark Glazunov's ballet The Seasons. Stephen Coombs proves a most persuasive advocate, consistently conveying sheer joy in keyboard virtuosity ... which gives magic to pieces which might otherwise seem trivial. It makes a feast for any lover of piano music' (The Guardian)
'Coombs is clearly equipped to face the most prodigious demands … This is a most impressive and highly enjoyable release' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Stephen Coombs se révèle être un défenseur convaincu de ce répertoire qu'il aborde avec des moyens digitaux et une poésie remarquables' (Diapason, France)
