RUSSIAN PIANO MUSIC, VOLUME 1:
SHOSTAKOVICH AND COMRADES
MURRAY McLACHLAN

McLachlan has long had a fine reputation as a performer of Russian music, as well as championing briliant but little-known composers such as Williamson and Chisholm (see the composer index). On this CD, he presents the Piano Sonatas nos 1 and 2 by Shostakovich with works by composers in his circle; though not Russian, the piece by Roland Stevenson is included both because it is based on Shostakovich's name, but also because Stevenson, politically, can genuinely be called a 'comrade' of those devoted to Socialism but fighting the Stalinist regime.

vol. 2 - Vladimir Rebikov vol. 3 - Reinhold Glière
vol. 4 - Sergei Lyapunov vol. 5 - Anton Arensky

	[McLachlan] continues his musical excavations in fine style... he has Russian music as a prime love and it shows in his playing. A real find for those that want to expand horizons with a tour guide that loves his work.” – Chris Spector (MidWest Record)
	“A fine demonstration of McLachlan's virtuosity and stamina. Recommended.” – Peter Grahame Woolf (Musical Pointers)
