Phillip Sear plays a very Russian cradle song (with a folk-song like middle section) by the Armenian-Russian composer Génari Karganov. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Génari (or Gennari) Ossipovich Karganov (1858 (or possibly 1852) -1890) was an Armenian who became a naturalised Russian, but who was also for a time professor of piano at the conservatory in Tbilisi, Georgia. He is mostly remembered for educational works, especially an Album for the Young (Op. 25). This attractive piece comes from his 'Album Lyrique' from 1894. The Album was dedicated to 'Princess Tamara of Georgia' - but alas I can't seem to find any record of who she was. The thumbnail shows an illustration from a 19th century American sheet music cover from another cradle song. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
