The 2018 Leeds International Piano Competition gold medalist plays music by three of the 19th century’s greatest piano composers. The bulk of the program goes to Chopin’s extraordinarily rich and varied 24 Préludes, Op. 28, which he plays with a winning sense of poetry and a sparkling technique. Lu’s Curtis Institute training allows for no weakness in his technical ability and his finger-work is very fine. Brahms’ most popular intermezzo is played with a lovely feeling for its mood of gentle melancholy before we end with those strange, final compositional thoughts written before his voluntary admission to an asylum, where he spent the final two years of his life. Lu gauges its atmosphere superbly.

A renaissance artist for our times, Lera Auerbach is internationally renowned as a composer whose exquisitely crafted, emotional, and boldly imaginative music reaches a global audiences. Her 24 Preludes for Violin and Piano is a cycle of compact but ‘meaningful and complete’ works that follows the key scheme of Chopin’s 24 Préludes, while exploring stark contrasts that range from primordial darkness to naïve innocence. Using a highly original tonal language with clear references to classical traditions, this pioneering work fully represents Auerbach’s ability to put music at the service of a broader expression of human need and fallibility.

It was in 2018 when Ksenia took the decision to record the 24 Capricci by Paganini together with the 4 Studi discovered by Danilo Prefumo and, after investigating their history, philology, compositive pattern, lyric-harmonic and executive features, after having performed all the 24 Capricci in various recitals. Her studies brought her to consider each Capriccio for its own specific compositive and executive characteristics, connecting at the same time one Capriccio to the other: that’s why she performs them in an innovative sequence whose purpose is to emphasize the stylistic and harmonic similarities which reveal the composer’s personality in his research of sonorities linked to the technical virtuosity and the sound effects of the instrument.
