This review is from: Revisionists Tale (Audio CD)

This is a marvelous recording. I originally got it for the Borodin Tarantella (itself full of charm) but was even more delighted by the Schnittke "The Revisionist's Tale", particularly the third movement "The Portrait" with its not-quite-Shostakovich, not-quite-Prokofiev sound, quite unlike other Schnittke I've heard or played. Very nice, clear playing by the two performers, Natalia Zusman and Inna Heifetz. Would love to get the 2-piano score!
