Kabalevsky: Complete Preludes

The label CPO continues its exploration of the music of Dmitri Kabalevsky, one of the Soviet Union’s leading composers, with his complete Preludes for piano. These rarities are played by Michael Korstick, who previously recorded the composer’s complete piano sonatas. Inspired by composers including Bach and Scriabin, Kabalevsky wrote a complete cycle of 24 Preludes as well as an additional 13, all recorded here.
