Album information
Anna Vinnitskaya adds to her award-winning discography with her first Chopin recording, which couples the four Ballades with the four Impromptus.
The pianist Anna Vinnitskaya has built up an impressive discography since her victory at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2007: Bach, Brahms, Ravel, and of course the Russian composers with whom she has been familiar since her childhood in Novorossiysk, then her studies with Evgeni Koroliov.
The Russian pianist has won praise for her immaculate technique and abundant musicality, qualities in evidence on this captivating performance. This recording couples the four Ballades, a cross between the miniature and the sonata, with the four Impromptus Chopin composed at different periods of his life, between 1835 and 1842.
