Sofia Sacco - Shostakovich: The Preludes & Fugues

Shostakovich's Preludes and Fugues stands as one of the most profound and technically demanding collections of piano music from the 20th century. A masterpiece of both harmonic exploration and emotional depth, the cycle includes 24 pairs of preludes and fugues, each reflecting the complexity of Shostakovich's musical voice and his experiences during the post-Stalin era. This new recording from pianist Sofia Sacco captures the full breadth of the work, offering a detailed and nuanced performance of each prelude and fugue, and a clear, faithful presentation of one of Shostakovich's most important contributions to the piano repertoire.
