Overview

ALFRED SCHNITTKE

Two wonderful artists interpret chamber music by the famous Russian postmodernist Alfred Schnittke: the melancholic First Sonata (1978) and Musica Nostalgica.They bridge a mature work by Prokofiev and a solo suite by Britten, highlighting the, not so unexpected, affinities between 20th-century great composers.
