Performer: Anna Fedorova

“Peace Shall Defeat War” is the apposite subtitle of the finale to Boris Lyatoshynsky's Third Symphony, a work championed by Kirill Karabits in a concert featuring his fellow Ukrainian Anna Fedorova playing Rachmaninov. 

Bringing a programme of music from their homeland and works with resonance to the people of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra make a strong impression.

Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova gave compelling performances of Chopin’s profound Ballades and intricate Waltzes, full of intensity, dreaminess and frenzy.

David gives a roundup of classical music's reaction to the Ukraine invasion and some opinions.

Anna Fedorova is the featured artist in our next At Home Concert Club, so we caught up with her to talk about her musical background and approach to playing Rachmaninov.
