Product DescriptionAnna Vinnitskaya has now joined with Alpha Classics. Her first recording with the label is devoted to one of her repertoires of choice: the concertos of Dimitri Shostakovich. 'Anna Vinnitskaya displays a dazzling, indeed Olympian technique, combined with a particularly bold taste for differentiating sonic textures...Stubborn, virtuosic, possesive and possessed, Anna Vinnitskaya is a musician who never cheats. That was bound to bring her luck.' Marie-Aude Roux, Le Monde, 2009 ""Vinnitskayas sound at her entrance in the first movement was an ideal balance of vulnerability and focus, turning on a dime to sail headlong into the works demanding technical passages. She gave a blazing performance of the second movement of Prokofievs Piano Sonata No. 2 as an encore."" -- Jennifer Hambrick, The Columbus Dispatch, May 23, 2015
