Piano Works
Label: MELODIYA Catalog: MELCD1002240 Format: CD Sokolov; Vaiman; Moskalenko; Chamber Orchestra of the Leningrad State Philharmonic Society; DmitriyevComposed by: Beethoven; Scriabin Most of Russian master pianist Grigory Sokolov’s recordings were made from live broadcasts in Leningrad/St. Petersburg and Moscow – he prefers concert performances to studio work. This set combines the large-scale dramatic canvases of Beethoven’s sonatas with the restless romantic heroics of Scriabin. However, what makes this set particularly interesting is Sokolov’s recordings of the works by his contemporary, Leningrad composer Boris Arapov (1905-92), all first-time releases. Price: $42.98 |
