Olga Georgievskaya, who made her critically acclaimed Odradek debut with Chaconnes & Songs, returns with Moments, a selection of concise but deeply-felt pieces by Rachmaninov and Liszt, alongside world-premiere recordings of her own transcriptions of two Dargomyzhsky songs, and her Chaconne on Themes of Purcell, based on the famous 'Dido's Lament' from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.

As Olga Georgievskaya puts it in her Artist Statement, a feature of Odradek booklets: "Each work in this programme is unique and in its own way represents an unusual style in the art of the piano." Of Rachmaninov's Moments Musicaux, she says: "These brief yet evocative pieces capture a range of experiences: they unfold before the listener as a vivid, picturesque soundscape, enchant with their eloquence and expressiveness, invite us to a calm philosophical reflection, or thrill the listener with their grandeur." Of Liszt, she describes the 'Vallee d'Obermann' and 'Apres une Lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata' as "two of the most significant pieces from the first two volumes of his cycle Annees de Pelerinage. Compared to traditional variations, Liszt's transformation of a single motif throughout these works showcases an astonishing range of possibilities, changing beyond recognition and evolving into diverse and contrasting imaginative worlds."

As for her own creative contribution to this programme, Olga Georgievskaya has transcribed two songs by Dargomyzhsky, the first resulting in "a delicate and striking miniature", the second revealing "the profound emotional intensity of the Romantic hero", while her exploration of Purcell's famous aria has its foundations in the monumental build-up of the famous ground bass.
