Alexander Tcherepnin, Mikhail Shilyaey (piano)
Toccata Classics TOCC 0079
An inspired idea to open the disc with a selection of 1960s archival recordings by this most dynamic of composer-pianists. Here, two compact but imposing sonatas show a highly individual harmonic language and a fearsome performing technique. If he perhaps gets the lion's share of repertoire, his younger colleague makes the most of a series of thirty well-crafted, accessible miniatures, yielding nothing in terms of pianism. Well worth exploring.
