With its roots in the tradition of Borodin and Mussorgsky, the music of the Ukrainian-born composer sits between the late Romanticism of Skryabin and the harder edges of Shostakovich and Prokofiev, blending a mastery of counterpoint with an acute sense of Russian keyboard colour. In Shaporin's piano music his fondness for the epic - expressed in two large-scale sonatas and a mighty passacaglia - is contrasted with a number of gentle, almost whimsical miniatures.
