The Might Handful consisted of five Russian composers following in the tradition of Glinka and Dargomijsky. Balakirev, Cui, Mussorgsky, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov sought to bring Russian music to the level art of music prevailing in Western Europe. This disc is a collection of piano works by each of the five composers. Such works as Balakirev's Islamey and Mussorgsky's Pictures from an Exhibition are not represented here much to benefit of including lesser known works.
