Boris Tishchenko (born in 1939) is the true giant entering the galaxy of the modern composers. That was the centripetal radical innovation peculiar to the music of the 20th century - the significant hard ordeal working some artists to complete eliminating of their individual manners. Boris Tishchenko was as mighty as to pass this trial victoriously - he did acquire perfect technique, but he did preserve the feature of his music to be instantly recognized.

Boris Tishchenko is a composer of all possible genres - from the tune a cappella to super symphony.

This is the piano creation of the composer Boris Tishchenko to be getting under listeners' and performers' skin without fail. The features peculiar to it are rarely inherent in piano music on the whole - it's both monumental as grandiose symphony canvases, distinct for dashing brilliant technique, unexhausted by ample imaginative sphere, being saturated with vivid individual thematic and structural ideas. None of these features is sacrificed for the other's sake. ''I consider piano to be the kind of the orchestra, some projection of it. Therefore I endeavour to scrupulous part-writing and wrought themes, as if I meant orchestral facture and phonations, for the orchestra is the supreme inimitable instrument for me'', - the composer uses to say.

Tishchenko's piano sonatas reveal the composer as the great master of symphony music ever living in the 20th century, so as the pianist virtuoso.
