5.0 out of 5 stars The very best recording of this music, April 13, 2008

By 

Long Beach Music Lover (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shostakovich: Three Fantastic Dances; 24 Preludes; Piano Sonata No. 2 (Audio CD)

This is the benchmark recording of these monuments of 20th Century piano repertoire.

Nikolayeve, a lifelong friend of the composer, made these recordings in Seldon Hall, Hartfordshire, the year before her tragic death in San Francisco.

'The affectionate warmth, humour and vitality of her playing, the stunning virtuosity ... make this CD a winner' (CDReview) 'L'intériorité et la richesse de la lumière blafarde sont magnifiquement rendues' (Répertoire, France) 'Never less than magnificent' (San Francisco Examiner).
