"Experiencing the composer and pianist Arsentiy Kharitonov playing his concert Études opus 44, one can imagine the great representatives of this genre of music listening wide-eyed, open-mouthed and spellbound.  

Kharitonov’s Études are not only in the tradition of their great forerunners but are on a par with them. These are vivid contemporary works -- breathtaking, fiery and magical. A rather unique experience these days."
