"... (Kyung-Ah Noh) is handsomely suited to this music which gloriously bestrides the romantic and the impressionistic worlds and does so with wholly Russian intensity and often subtle majesty ... if your taste runs to Rachmaninov and then to Medtner, or possibly the other way around, here is a composer and a series you owe it to yourself to pursue. Alexandrov, Kyung-Ah Noh and Toccata: none of them will disappoint." - MusicWeb International "... the performances of Kyung-An Noh display a fine grasp of the music’s style. Flexible phrasing goes hand in hand with rhythms that are never allowed to sag. Inner voices are articulated well. The flow of the music moves gracefully under her hands and her technique has no issues with the demands of the music’s most difficult pages. She is an excellent colourist too and one who refuses to lose sight of structure in Alexandrov’s more bewitching harmonic moments. The sound is full ... an intriguing release ... recommended." - Fanfare Pianist Kyung-Ah Noh returns for this second volume of piano music by Anatoly Alexandrov, one of the forgotten figures of the Russian school of pianism that embraced Taneyev, Rachmaninov, Skryabin, Shostakovich, Gilels and so many other composers and pianists. Alexandrov wrote 14 sonatas and other pieces for piano in an attractive late-Romantic style that owes much to Nikolai Medtner, his teacher and friend. Four of those sonatas are included here with three other piano works.
