The complete piano sonatas by three Russian giants of the (early) twentieth century. All three composers were distinguished performers on the keyboard as well. No doubt this is the reason for their writing quite a lot of music - Scriabin almost exclusively- for their instrument. Exhilarating stuff all along.
These 5 CD’s contain everything they wrote for their own instrument in the “archaic” sonata form. Three pianists here each perform the composer they specialize in. Håkon Austbø plays Scriabin, Murray McLachlan Prokofiev and Colin Stone Shostakovich.
