Description:

A true genius, Eugena's astonishing recordMarija Eugena (1899-1970) was a pianist who was a classmate of Shostakovich. Living in the Soviet Union during the dark ages, she was famous for her eccentricities, such as being unafraid to stand up to the government. She was a pianist who showed in Bach and Beethoven a level of construction and virtuosity that no one else could imitate, and at the same time was enthusiastic about the music of the 20th century. Here, in addition to her Beethoven, Stravinsky and Berg are incredibly convincing. Eugena was said to be an admirer of Stalin's, and we hope you will enjoy this masterpiece. King International
