Choc winner, young virtuoso Polina Leschenko is back with a highly anticipated all Russian album. Starting her program with two wonderful Waltzes by composer and pianist Mischa Levitski, Polina then proceeds with a stunning performance of Rachmaninov’s second sonata - in the revised version of Horowitz . The second half of the program is devoted to a highly moving rendition of the complete first cycle of the Forgotten Melodies - including the Reminiscenza Sonata - by romantic composer Medtner.
