Work: Piano Sonata no. 3 in A minor, Op.28

Plenty to frighten the children and thrill the adults from Volodin in the latest International Piano Series recital at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. 

Yefim Bronfman, a prime interpreter of Prokofiev, presented powerful performances of the composer's landmark piano sonatas at Ravinia.

Yuja Wang’s latest recital at Carnegie Hall, which took place Tuesday evening, is best compared to a triple-decker sandwich with very excellent bread and questionable innards. Ms. Wang is known for her intimidating technique: powerful, playful, and superlative. Her energy is at its highest during her showy encores, and her pianism is at its most impressive with virtuosic Russian repertoire.
