Antonii Baryshevskyi

Although originally intended as mere technical exercises, Antonii Baryshevskyi shows the breathtaking beauty of etudes. Chopin, Liszt and Debussy reimagined etudes as virtuoso concert pieces, and Baryshevskyi combines them with contemporary pieces by Svyatoslav Lunyov and Maxim Shalygin. And then it becomes clear that an etude is more than just a technical exercise; it can also be subdued and vulnerable. The raw simplicity of Shalygin’s Fetus Etudes, at times poignant and painful, goes straight to the heart. Sharing their Ukrainian heritage and a passion for music, Shalygin and Baryshevskyi bring out the best in each other. Since fleeing his homeland, Baryshevskyi has become an ambassador for Ukrainian music on the world stage.
