Description:

The second Sony Classical concert will feature the much-anticipated Chopin. Although still in her early twenties, Katia has received generous praise from great artists such as Martha Argerich, Gidon Kremer, and Paavo Järvi, and in 2011 signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical. Her second album is an all-showcase album of works by Franz Liszt, which celebrates the bicentennial of his birth. Her second album is an all-Chopin program, a disc that is sure to be a hit with Japanese audiences. It includes waltzes, ballades, the famous Funeral Sonata, and the Piano Concerto No. 2 with the up-and-coming conductor Pervo Järvi and the Orchestre de Paris, and is an ideal album to appreciate her lyricism and technique. A short film (approx. 5 min.) is included as a CD extra. Sony Music
