I love some of Kosenko compositions (Baroque dance etudes for instance), but sometimes he clearly imitates Rachmaninov. he did this in a piano concerto and in this 2nd sonata he imitates Rachmaninov 2nd sonata too. this is very a strong turn off to me.
I've always thought of Kosenko as a simplified Scriabin if the latter had any respect for Rachmaninoff's music. K. is a good listen, but nothing unique.

Literally about to cancel all my plans today to listen to this on repeat. What an incredible gem.
I was really delighted and surprised when Maltempo included this alongside Balakirev and Glazunov in his Russian Sonatas Album!
funny name for a musician 😁
Not a Russian but a Ukrainian composer. He fled from the Russians through Constantinople.
Had me hooked from the first chord.
Wow! Thanks!
It is amazing how he is able to assert the repeating pattern of the melody through the work without making it sound least boring! What a master!
almost meaningless performance. Great piece.

@@SCRIABINIST his Etudes in old forms are quite unique! (despite the fact that his 2nd piano concerto is a PLAGIO of Rachmaninov's)
I think you’re thinking of Bortkiewicz
incredible sonata, awful performance
awesome.
