Ustvolskaya: Complete Piano Music

Galina Ustvolskaya was Shostakovich’s favourite pupil. He even said to her: “you are a phenomenon, while I am but a talent”. This album contains all the Piano Sonatas and the 12 Preludes.

Galina Ustvolskaya’s piano works, uncompromising granite sculptures, feature sharp and extreme dynamic contrasts, cluster chords and use of the extreme registers of the keyboard, while their spiritual message is one of infinite despair and passionate protest (whether against the Soviet regime, or against human existence in general).
Ivan Sokolov (b.1960), Russian pianist and composer, was one of Ustvolskaya’s favoured interpreters, and his playing bears a monumental and authorative stamp of uthenticity.

This is Gorgeous Russian Piano Music At Its Best.
I love it. This is what makes the Week -End More Meaningful in more ways than one.
I have a special love for the Piano Works even of Shostakovich which is an acquired taste most definitely.
Thanks again for this fantastic upload.
I have tweeted about this at my twitter handle.

You're welcome. Thank you for enjoying it!

[@doridore1234]

Woah, I saw you on Silas Codeiro's upload of Denyer's Piano Sonata no. 6. Cool to see you here!

[@edmundbloxam2714]

Brutalist. Straightforward.
Shame that the RUclips video tags, when separating sections, pauses the sounds, creating distracting skips in the recording. Would have been best just putting them after each piece.

[@uwefischer6671]

I wonder if the absurd edit between 1:12 and 1:14 of the end of the first movement of Piano Sonata 1 will ever be rectified by Piano Classics.

[@doridore1234]

No one does Piano Sonata no. 6 better than Sokolov.
