Unknown piano gems written from 1906 to 1909 by the late-Romantic doyen of Russian early/mid 20th-century music, including the towering 25 Preludes, Op. 30, Mazurkas and Esquisses. Exquisite high Romantic music from a composer far better-known for his epic symphonies and orchestral works. "Expressively varied, cleverly crafted and thematically memorable works. Goldstone has the technique and the style to perform these works. The composer could hardly wish for a better advocate. Recommended? But of course." - Barry Brenesal (Fanfare)
