Tcherepnin / Koukl Complete Piano Music 1 CD

This first volume of Alexander Tcherepnin's extensive list of works for piano takes US from some of his earliest works as a precocious Russian teenager, through to significant and intensely expressive compositions. From the vitally youthful picture stories of the Bagatelles, through the remarkable Sonatas to the exploratory late Ascension, each work is a gold mine of astoundingly inventive and distinctively individual craftsmanship. Giorgio Koukl is a pianist/ harpsichordist and composer based in Lugano, Switzerland. Born in Prague in 1953, and studied at the State Music School and Conservatory, before moving to Switzerland in 1968 and continuing his studies at the Conservatories of Zurich and Milan. Koukl's effortless technique and expertise with this fascinating repertoire make him a perfect advocate for this composer's remarkable music.
