Feinberg / Yasko 20Th Century Russian Piano CD

The pianist Anastasia Yasko presents a selection of outstanding Russian piano sonatas from Soviet times. A handful of little known works by Prokofiev, Sviridov, Feinberg and Weinberg will give us a varied picture of the period. Here, different stylistic directions of new music as well as the characteristics of the Russian musical tradition are distinctly represented. Anastasia Yasko was born in Kursk, Russia. Since four years old she has been playing the piano. She studied the piano at the Moscow Gnessin Special Music School with Tatiana Shklovskaya and at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory with Vera Gornostaeva.
