LSO St Luke's: Russian Roots (2/4)

Georgia Mann presents Lawrence Power and Pavel Kolesnikov in a recital that takes in the rich, romantic music of Kabalevsky, Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky, plus Shostakovich.

Georgia Mann presents the second concert in the Russian Roots series, recorded at LSO St Luke's in London during 2020. Today, Lawrence Power and Pavel Kolesnikov join forces in a recital of richly romantic Russian music from Kabalevsky, Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky. Lawrence Power and Pavel Kolesnikov end their recital with Shostakovich's harrowing Viola Sonata, which was inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, the first movement of which they play in a transcription by York Bowen.
