Oh, many thanks.

I'll drop the subject of the Russian composers song - am getting too much flak from all quarters.  Anyway, our boy Krizhanovsky is therein memorialized for all eternity.

As punishment you should pick out the Unsungs from the song and direct us to recordings of their works!!  :D

Enough already! Let's get back to the music!

Well, to get back to the music - albeit a bit late - these are two gorgeous Sonatas.  I cannot decide which is the better, so I'll take them equally.  Inter alia, the Khrizhanovsky has a magnificent slow movement and the Potolovsky finale is almost orchestral - amazing to realize that there are only two instruments at work here.  The cellist Jaroslav Domzal is marvelous.  A 5-star disc, to be sure.
