His authoritative and virtuosic performances of York Bowen and CPE Bach have placed him firmly in the \\u2018one to watch\\u2019 category. For his latest disc, he turns to one of the giants of the Russian piano world.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThis disc looks beyond the ubiquitous Islamey to some of Balakirev\\u2019s most important works \\u2013 which are curiously underrepresented on disc. The Piano Sonata in B flat minor is a major achievement of the period and one quite unlike any contemporary large-scale piano composition. Its absence from the standard repertoire is unfortunate, as it is fully worthy of such a place. Undoubtedly this marvellous recording will provoke a reappraisal.\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata in B flat minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMazurka No 1 in A flat major [4'14]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMazurka No 2 in C sharp minor [2'54]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValse-Caprice No 2 in D flat major [6'11] ALEXANDER TANEYEV (18501918), arr.
