Description:

First Prize at the Eugen d'Albert International Music Competition! Sonia Bach's third album! She plays Rachmaninoff's Sonata No. 2 & Musik und Preludes with elegantly shimmering tone! Sonia Bach, who made her debut with the English Chamber Orchestra in a collection of Bach concertos in a pretend performance, is a female pianist who studied piano with Lazar Bellman in Italy and Alicia de Larrocha in Spain, and is currently active as a Steinway Artist. She has had a successful career, winning the First Prize & Grand Prize at the Eugen d'Albert International Music Competition and the Special Prize at the 12th Viotti-Valsègea International Music Competition. Following Bach (RCD1006) and Chopin (RCD1042), her third album is a Rachmaninoff album featuring Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata No. 2, the "Musical Moments" in which the young virtuosity is on display, and three pieces from the Ten Preludes, Op. 23. Expressive precision and flawless technique..." The Steinway's elegantly sparkling tone, praised as "clean and jewel-like" (BBC Music Magazine), colors Rachmaninoff's music. Tokyo M-Plus
