Aspen Music Festival: 2023 Winter Music Series: A Recital by Alexander Malofeev, piano

"There is perhaps no better vehicle to showcase Malofeev’s impressive artistry than Beethoven’s cherished 'Moonlight' Sonata, which opens his winter program. A dynamic sonata from a lesser-known Polish composer and friend of Shostakovich, Mieczsław Weinberg, follows. Though his music was largely disregarded during his lifetime, many of Weinberg’s works have been rediscovered posthumously. Bringing the program to a close is Rachmaninoff’s virtuosic Piano Sonata No. 2."
