1917... a revolution ... Soviet artists at the vanguard of a new world ... a brilliant explosion of creativity ... Futurism... Suprematism ... Constructivism ... controversy ... criticism ... expulsion ... a blackout.

Now, after seventy years of censorship, the extraordinary inventiveness of this period is brought back to light.  At last, we hear the long lost colleagues of Shostakovich and Prokofiev — Roslavetz, Mossolov and Lourié — whose equally brilliant achievements were instead crushed by political events.  Experience these years of promise, opportunity, excitement and wondrous innovation through the extraordinary talents of pianist Sarah Rothenberg, foremost interpreter of early 20th century Russian music.

Some of this music you will be hearing for the first time ever.  May you happily continue to hear it forever more...
