Artist Information:

For decades, Vladimir Feltsman has dazzled audiences throughout the United States and around the world. Feltsman's "articulation was clean and precise, and the music's spirit came through clearly," wrote The New York Times of Haydn's Sonata in E-flat Major. He also performs Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata and the sublime Pictures at an Exhibition, of which one critic said, "Feltsman rendered Mussorgsky's musical descriptions with such personal but convincing characterizations that you'd think he wrote the piece."
