Alexander Mossolov - Russian Futurism, Volume I - Piano Works (Arte Nova, 1990)


More piano works, given to me by a very cool RYM friend. If I recall (this was a while ago), this Russian Futurism thing (highly knowledgeable post coming, lol) produced several composers and a host of work, but only a couple are well known today. The description of this work (and indeed this series) states the goal is to bring to light more composers from the era, and reveal (not that music lovers ever doubted the power of Russian creativity) the brilliant musical impetus of the times. While these pieces are not totally bizarre or atonal, there are highly contemporary moments in here, and a touch of reserved seriousness is present to scratch that peculiar Russian itch you might have.
