SCHOSTAKOWITSCH & SCHUMAN

Description:

Olga Martinova, a female keyboardist who studied both piano and harpsichord at the Moscow Conservatory, presents the fourth volume of her "Harpsichord Gems" series, a program featuring works by Shostakovich and Khachaturian, which at first glance may seem to have no connection with the harpsichord (harpsichord). When you listen to piano works by Shostakovich, Khachaturian, Schumann, Cramer, and others on harpsichord... you will be surprised at the affinity between the two! This is a brilliant project and performance by Martinova, who is well versed in both modern and period music. Tokyo M-Plus
