5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music.......2006-05-13

This Cd is a must have for anyone interested in Schnittke's music. Not only the presence of the composer during the recording sessions is a guarantee that the works will be performed as intended, but also this disc has a very special performance of the piano sonata n.2 by Irina Schnittke the composer's wife, dedicatee of the work.
The piece breathes life as opposed to Berman cold, intellectual rendition.
This approach to his piano work reminds me of Svetlana Ponomareva first sonata performance recently released at ponomarevapianist.com.
Rostropovich conducting on the English Chamber Orchestra is sensitive while Lubotsky, perhaps not as organically interesting as Kagan delivers a good performance.
