Here is Glinka/Balakirev The Lark (L'Alouette). I think this is the ultimate piano cover! The piece is Russian composer Mily Balakirev’s rearrangement for piano solo of the song of the same name by Mikhail Glinka.
The Lark was originally No. 10 of a group of twelve songs that Glinka wrote in 1840 and entitled "Farewell to St. Petersburg". Balakirev, born 1836, got to know Glinka in 1855 and admired him deeply. Glinka stimulated Balakirev to start composing. He has paraphrased several of Glinka's works, "The Lark" being the most famous of them. This work owes to Glinka the exceptionally beautiful and sad melody, and to Balakirev the wonderful flowing figuration.
This was one of the pieces in my recital for the ATCL Diploma. It's such a wonderful feeling and flow to it. I hope that you can enjoy the piece with the sheet music as a guide. Whilst classical music and classical piano is not what I enjoy the most, I do love some of the most beautiful pieces and will be learning them purely for enjoyment.
If you like this, then do check out Olga Scheps interpretation as well as Evgeny Kissin version - both are amazing.
