Description
Stravinsky described Nikolay Roslavets as “the most interesting Russian composer of the 20th century,” but after decades of suppression under the Soviet regime his significance is still being assessed even today with newly discovered and reconstructed works included in this recording. Scriabin’s influence can be heard in earlier works, and a constant search for fresh sound constellations resulted in Roslavets’ invention of influential new compositional techniques, treating the piano with a passionate power and complex sovereignty that Olga Andryushchenko describes as like 'fire and ice!'
