Overview
Prokofiev capped his series of three so-called‘War Sonatas’ with a work of great expressive depthand emotional insight.
Moscow-born YuliannaAvdeeva, winner of the 2010 International ChopinPiano Competition, sets Prokofiev’s expansive scoretogether with Chopin’s fiendishly difficult secondBallade and the second of Bach’s English Suites,more French in nature than its name implies.
