Shchedrin, Rodion (1932-)

Description:

Rodion Shchedrin (1932-), husband of the ballet queen Plisetskaya, is one of the leading composers of the former Soviet Union. A piano virtuoso under the tutelage of Yakov Friere, Shchedrin is unrivaled in the performance of his own compositions. The "24 Preludes and Fugues" is the most outstanding piece since Shostakovich's masterpiece of the same name, and is extremely rich in content and high in piano technique. All are Melodia recordings.
