Shostakovich and Tatian Nikolayeva (english subtitles)
« on: December 18, 2013, 12:47:28 PM »
This is a short interview with Tatiana Nikolayeva, a well known pianist, about Shostakovich:


Note that when competing in a competition, she learned all 48 (a prelude and fugue each) of Shostakovich's preludes and fugues - about 1.5 to 2 hours of music!

My favorite Shostakovich prelude and fugue is Number 7 in A major, here it is as played by Keith Jarrett
