Olga Pashchenko
Waldstein, Appassionata, Les Adieux
The three piano sonatas Waldstein, Appassionata and Les Adieux date from the middle of Beethovens career as a composer. He had fallen into a personal crisis due to his increasing deafness, and was writing major work expressing heroism and conflict. The Russian pianist Olga Pashchenko, praised as one of the most talented all-round pianists of the younger generation by the pianist Aleksander Melnikov, will give an enthralling performance on the fortepiano.
