SHOSTAKOVICH

摘要

The Bach playing of Tatiana Nikoleyeva was the inspiration in 1950 for Shostakovich's 24 Preludes and Fugues, and her two recordings inevitably are seen as definitive. (Nikoleyeva endeared herself to London audiences late in life; she also made several Hyperion discs.) The young Moscow pianist provides a booklet overview of exceptional thoroughness, although the accompanying 23m DVD interview with a stubbly Andreas Staier gets us practically nowhere.
