Hailed for “performances of huge emotional scope and intense drama” (The Guardian), Zlata Chochieva is considered one of the most extraordinary pianists of her generation. Gramophone is a fan, adding her masterful version of the Chopin Études to its list of the ten greatest recordings of those works, and giving her recent Im freien disc its Editor’s Choice award. In this recital for the Library Cochieva plays music by Beethoven, Bartók, Schumann, Sibelius and J.S. Bach, and the great “Dante Sonata” of Franz Liszt, inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy.
