Лесные грибы: сбор и изучение
Phillip Sear plays the sixth piece - ИЮНЬ. Грибная пора - from the 2008 &in Klin&(Домик в Клину) collection, by the Russian composer Igor Parfyonov (1928- 2018). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Igor Parfyonov (or Parfionov, 1928- 2018) was a Russian composer who specialized in educational music, following a religious experience inspired by an icon he had viewed at the age of 36. The &in Klin&collection (which includes a piece for each month of the year) was inspired by a 1988 visit to Tchaikovsky&house in Klin. Per Wikipedia "[what is now the] Tchaikovsky House-Museum was the country home in Klin, 85 kilometres northwest of Moscow where Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky lived from May 1892 until his death in 1893". The collection was published in 2008, but I think it was written in the 1990s. It is dedicated to the composer&mother. This piece is headed by a quotation from one of Tchaikovsky&letters to his brothers in which he delights in the joys of collecting mushrooms: "Mushroom season is in full swing, and daily I bring in heaps of champignons". My thumbnail shows a colourized photo from the late 19th or early 29th century by Eugène Trutat (1840 – 1910) entitled "Hélène Perbosc assise dans un pré, cueillant un champignon". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear
