Natalia Andreeva is a Russian pianist who is currently Lecturer in Piano at the University of Sydney, Australia. Her 2015 recording of the music of Galina Ustvolskaya was very well received, and like that album, this new recording of better-known classical and Romantic works is the result of many years of study, developing her own mental picture of these masterpieces and of what the composers were trying to communicate.

There are various links between the works – in fact Liszt, Franck and Szostakowicz were all influenced by Bach generally, as well as composing in the Prelude and Fugue form that he made a staple of the keyboard repertoire.

This is one of two linked CDs, the other featuring Piano Sonatas by Beethoven, Scriabin and Prokofiev, and they provide two fine recital-style programs of essential classics.
