About

The pianist Anna Vinnitskaya has built up an impressive discography since her victory at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2007: Bach, Brahms, Ravel, and of course the Russian composers with whom she has been familiar since her childhood in Novorossiysk, then her studies with Evgeni Koroliov. She has now made her first Chopin recording, coupling the four Ballades, a cross between the miniature and the sonata, with the four Impromptus he composed at different periods of his life, between 1835 and 1842.

“Vinnitskaya’s playing is an absolute delight for its natural, songful, expressive phrasing and a cool unpretentious temperament” – BBC Music Magazine

“Vinnitskaya takes nothing as read; phrasing is imaginative, dynamics are finely calibrated and the whole piece emerges with a clarity and freshness”
– MusicWeb

“Those who want all of Bach’s multiple keyboard concertos on the piano cannot do better. Highly recommended” – Gramophone
