Steinway International Piano Series: Alexander Gavrylyuk

When you think of Russian music, you think of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov – two giants of melody and emotion, who could create whole worlds of feeling from a single piano. Ukrainian born Alexander Gavrylyuk is soaked in that tradition, and today he pairs two of their most personal masterpieces with three composers who inspired them: Chopin, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky’s lifelong hero Mozart.
