Description: There are several all-Mosolov piano discs in my collection (all of them out of print now) but no single release with all his surviving such music. Everything here is from the mid to late 1920s, in Mosolov’s “constructivist” style - motor rhythms, percussive attacks, melodic angularity - often expressive and cold at the same time. A bargain at mid-price. 2 CDs. Olga Andryushchenko (piano).
