Anatoly Alexandrov: Complete Piano Sonatas

Teo, Clarisse

DDX 21375

For the first time, all fourteen piano sonatas by the enigmatic Soviet composer Anatoly Alexandrov (1888–1982) are brought together in a single recording. Known for his richly lyrical style, Alexandrov’s music resonates with the spirit of his contemporaries Nikolai Medtner and Sergei Rachmaninov while charting a distinctive artistic path.

A prolific composer of solo piano and vocal works, Alexandrov’s œuvre has remained on the periphery of the repertoire, cherished by pianophiles but largely overlooked by broader audiences. His sonatas, written over the course of six decades, reflect a fascinating stylistic evolution shaped by the sweeping socio-political transformations of the 20th century.
