"Quasi una sonata remains one of the composer's seminal pieces in either of its versions, marking the debut of his celebrated 'polystylism' and his breakaway from the avant-garde. Stravinsky, serialism and Bach rub shoulders in a fiery performance by Mark Lubotsky. Thereless sense of identity in the Second Piano Sonata (1990): Hindemith crossed with Schnittke's cluster technique. The bonus, however, is an authoritative reading by the composer's wife, Irina.
