Some members may be interested to note that Hyperion are to release the first 6 of Feinberg's Piano Sonatas in March 2020, played by Marc-André Hamelin.
I would venture this is quite a highly anticipated release – I have certainly been waiting for it for some time.

Currently one excerpt available here.

I heard the BIS set many years ago so I don't remember very clearly but my impression was that the earlier ones were in a (late) Scriabin idiom. As they progress they get more chromatic and abstract.
