Ludwig van Beethoven

Piano Sonata No. 15 in D major ‘Pastoral’

BBC Studios, London, 18 January 1993

 

Franz Schubert

Piano Sonata No. 21 in B flat major, D960

Impromptu No. 3 in G flat major, D899

BBC Studios, Glasgow, 9 December 1991

 

Tatiana Nikolayeva - piano

 

The recitals of 1991 and 1993 add Beethoven's Pastoral' Sonata and the great and demanding Schubert Piano Sonata D.960 which Nikolayeva never recorded commercially. Nikolayeva's recordings are very rare so for the specialist piano collector, this CD will have significant interest. Her close involvement with Bach and her friendship with Shostakovich and his music has tended to link her with Russian music so this CD showcases her in the Austrian/German classics.
