Description
Difficult personal circumstances, a spirit of renewal, and coincidence relate the two works on this album. Tchaikovsky’s Pezzo Capriccioso was a late, brief work, while Rachmaninoff’s Sonata was an early effort by a promising young pianist.
”"Ms. Green plays with a simplicity of expression
The New Record
which is refreshing."
