Four Pianos, Four Pieces - Alexander Melnikov

Alexander Melnikov - Piano

Alexander Melnikov imagined this program where four monuments from the piano repertoire are interpreted in their original instrumental environment. The four pianos chosen have characteristics corresponding to those of the instruments on which these virtuoso pieces were first performed. A journey where the horizons of sounds expand to dizzying new heights.
