Selected from particularly fertile and contrasting periods of Tcherepnin’s career, these works include a remarkable version of the Volga Boatman’s Song in the bravura Slavic Transcriptions, and the vividly imaginative Le monde en vitrine influenced by Stravinsky. Song and Refrain combines beautiful melody with rhythmic freedom, while Rondo à la Russe is a three-minute gem.
