Stefania Argentieri - Russian Piano Music 14 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This is the second album in the Russian Piano series devoted to Prokofiev and includes his first and sixth Sonatas and other works demonstrating his wide ranging soundworld. His eclecticism has enabled him as a very 'serious' composer of post-Romantic, neo-tonal works - often modernistic and at times aggressive, to be appreciated by a wider general audience than many of his contemporaries. Stefania Argentieri is a young Italian pianist of consummate skill, necessary to give full expression to the music of Prokofiev. She has won many awards and has performed at prestigious events in Europe and the USA. She teaches at the Giordano Conservatory in Foggia and is also working as a music editor. Stefania has made recordings with her chamber ensemble and this is her first solo album, no doubt one of many for someone who has the brightest of futures.
