G. Allen: Complete Piano Sonatas / McLachlan
âWhat is really interesting about Geoffreyâs music is that it looks orthodox on the page initially, but is in fact extremely thought-provoking. He has a unique way of combining the familiar with the unfamiliar: Geoffreyâs music is always extremely well crafted and looks deceptively simple on the page, but as soon as you begin to play any phrase from his works you discover that he is always subtly reinventing the wheel! There is subtle originality, extraordinary variety and colourful fascination in his prolific output for the instrument. The recordings...will unquestionably amount to a significant contribution to the development of the 20th/21st century piano sonata.â (Murray McLachlan)
Murray McLachlanâs discography now includes over forty commercial recordings, including the complete sonatas of Beethoven, Myaskovsky and Prokofiev, the six concertos of Alexander Tcherepnin, the 24 Preludes and Fugues of Rodion Shchedrin, Ronald Stevensonâs âPassacaglia on DSCHâ the major works of Kabalevsky, Khatchaturian and the complete solo piano music of Erik Chisholm.
