Details
Pianist Yury Favorin is famous not only for his impeccable technique, powerful sound, and sensitivity to piano styles of different eras from Bach to Ligeti, but also for originality in the choice of his concert programmes. At Dom Radio he will present a kind of musical journey from mature Romanticism to Impressionism, but will lead the audience by an unfamiliar path.
