In the last twenty years or so the music of the Russian composer Nikita Koshkin (b. 1956) has been recorded and performed by some of the most highly regarded guitarists in the world so it seems amazing that this disc marks his personal debut as a recording artist. With it he has undoubtedly established his unique voice in  20th Century guitar composition and beyond, but also as a master interpreter of his own music, which is not always the case with some composer/performers.
From the onset Koshkin holds the attention, with solid articulation and bell-like harmonics in the opening piece, 'Prelude and Waltz, Homage to Segovia', a tribute to the maestro guitarist who was influential in Koshkin taking up the guitar at the age of fourteen.
'Guitar' was a commission in 1986 from George Clinton, the editor of Guitar International Magazine, and published therein that year. It is another tribute, this time to the guitar itself.
The remaining four works are programmatic, something Koshkin excels in. 'Rain' a subject that composers from Chopin to Brouwer have used as a source of inspiration, finds Koshkin conveying through the guitar the force of nature within a rain storm, from the firm gentle drops to a soaking torrent, then subsiding again to mere droplets.
It seems strange that emotions can be aroused by a piece of music based on clocks but this is just what Koshkin manages to achieve, to capture the mechanical flavour of his 'Piece with Clocks' (Tempo di Tick-Tock is indicated on the score). Koshkin uses an eleven string guitar which he describes as 'prepared' using cork, a foam mute and matchsticks to extend the effects that are already a feature of Koshkins music. Tambora, left hand slurs, pizzicato, string bends, various percussive techniques together with the full range of dynamics and sound colour available to the guitarist are all part of his formidable technique. Yet at no time are these devices used simply for novelty value or randomly. They all have their place always enhancing the musical structures.
Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Fall of the House of Usher' the 'Usher Waltz' is a well known work. John Williams recorded it on his Seville Concert CD (Sony SK53359) but in the composers hands it takes on a more sinister nature. The savagery of the playing intensifying the decline into madness.
The title work of the CD, the 'Prince's Toys' written in 1980, had its first recording by Vladimir Mikulka in 1983 (BIS-CD-240); is a suite of pieces that illustrates in music the story of a prince who abuses his toys, which includes a mechanical monkey, a doll with blinking eyes and a group of soldiers. They eventually rebel and in their turn they mistreat him, until he tries to escape in his toy coach. They pursue him, eventually catching him and turn him into one of them, a toy, or do they? It is left to the listener to decide. The whole work is again punctuated with Koshkins splendid use of effects that provokes a sense of phantasmagoria.
I thoroughly recommend this disc and I am sure it will take a pride of place on any classic guitar enthusiast's shelves.

Koshkin1956出生于莫斯科，他自己回忆是在4岁时喜欢Shostakovich和Stravinsky的音乐。他的父母希望年轻的Koshkin将来成为外交家，但是，到他14岁时，摇滚乐仍是他最感兴趣的音乐。那年，他的祖父给了他一把吉它和塞戈维亚的一盘录音带，他的人生被改变了。作曲和演奏吉它成为他生活的重要部分，他随之在莫斯科音乐学院和George Emanov学习吉他，在Gnesin Institute（俄罗斯音乐高等专科学校）和Victor Egorov学习作曲。
1980年Koshkin首次公演他的吉他组曲“王子的玩具”，他的作品开始为国际吉他界所触目。Koshkin的音乐包括了吉它独奏、重奏，吉他和其他乐器，吉他和声乐。曾被约翰威廉斯、阿萨德二重奏，萨格勒布和阿姆斯特丹吉它三重奏演奏。他也是一名活跃的演奏家，他在全苏、中欧和西欧及英、美等国的演出都获得了极高的声誉。“王子的玩具”是Koshkin1997年在美国亚利桑那州录制的，当时他在南加洲the Guitar Foundation of America International Convention是很有影响的艺术家。
1980年，Koshkin担心自己“一生写同一首作品”，他放下了努力工作了6年的“王子的玩具”（该作品始作于1974年，组曲有一个主题，12个乐章）。他创作的起源是想要达成音乐表现丰富多彩的效果和技巧的高度综合。为此，他追求美学的，广泛的，标准和现代作曲技法在艺术上的统一，其次，他发现了一个作品的关键所在。
他说：“实际上在作品完成前就有了标题。”。玩具变成活的，同样淘气的方式和王子一起玩“打仗”的想法，自然地来自题目，完美地适合了Koshkin的目的。
Koshkin的王子的四个玩具事实上比看起来的天真更具魔力。“王子的玩具”分成以下六个乐章：
1、The Mischievous Prince（淘气的王子）
2、The Mechanical Monkey（机器猴）
3、The Doll with Blinking Eyes（会眨眼的洋娃娃）
4、Playing Soldiers（铁做的士兵）
5、The Prince's Coach（王子的马车）
6、The Grand Toys' Parade （盛大的玩具检阅）。
