His fourteen sonatas and much of his work for piano is in an attractive late-Romantic style that owes much to his teacher and friend Nikolai Medtner. Pianist Kyung-ah Noh (b. 1982, South Korea) ‘plays with immense power when called for, but is equally able to command the subtlest “pianissimo”’ Continuing, “she has a real empathy for the style of this underrated composer.” (MusicWeb Int’l on Volume 1) Price: $27.98 |
