The rare and explosive talent of the Greek-Venezuelan pianist has been internationally recognized, as demonstrated by her cascade of awards from major international competitions in Italy, Spain, Germany, the United States, Japan, and Israel, as well as her many successful appearances in leading concert halls across the globe. Russian music, in all its shades and stylistic directions, suits her fiery pianistic temperament perfectly — something that will become evident to those fortunate enough to hear her in this highly demanding recital at the Megaron, featuring three Piano Sonatas by three eminent Russian composers. Special mention must be made of her performance of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Sonata No. 1, a truly titanic work that few dare to tackle live, all the more so when it is followed by Prokofiev’s most celebrated Sonata, the Seventh, one of the towering peaks of the 20th-century piano repertoire.
