“McLachlan writes of the “enormous tactile pleasure” for the performer…his playing is both authoritative and persuasive … these sonatas are of interest and substance” (Penguin Guide of disc 2 when issued alone). “the (sonatas) are valuable for rounding out the picture of the Russian late-romantic tradition, and the brief intersections with early Prokofiev (No.I) and French pastoral style (No.6) are noteworthy. The piano writing is strong and idiomatic, and McLachlan a worthy exponent – lucid, tasteful and well prepared … all in all this is a welcome and recommendable issue” (Gramophone)
