Olga Jegunova-Oppetit: Simple Music for Piano

Description

Simple Music for Piano is a deeply personal and reflective collection inspired by the composer Giya Kancheli and the everyday moments of life with children. Dedicated to her sons, Boris and David, Olga captures the fleeting innocence, humor, and love of childhood through delicate piano interpretations of Kancheli’s works for theatre and film.

Recorded at the Conservatori Liceu in Barcelona, this album explores the nuanced silence and emotional depth that define Kancheli’s music, blending moments of stillness with poetic melodic lines. From theatrical themes like King Lear and The Role for a Beginner to cinematic scores such as Cinema and Kin-Dza-Dza!, the album traverses a wide range of moods—melancholic, tender, humorous, and reflective—always guided by Olga’s sensitive touch and interpretive insight.

This recording is both a tribute to Kancheli’s genius and a celebration of the everyday inspiration found in family, nature, and the quiet power of hope. A musical journey that honors life, love, and the fleeting beauty of childhood.
