About

The Russian-born American composer Leo Ornstein (1893–2002) lived long enough – an astonishing 109 years – to see his music both fall into and re-emerge from obscurity.

His earliest surviving work dates from around 1905; his last was composed in 1990.

Not surprisingly, his music embraces a range of styles, ranging on this first CD from the atmospheric impressionism of the Four Impromptus via the fiery virtuosity of the Fourth Piano Sonata to the Rachmaninov-like Romanticism of the Cossack Impressions and In the Country.

This CD marks the first recording of a major talent: Arsentiy Kharitonov, born in St Petersburg and now US based.
