Im Freien

Zlata Chochieva evokes the charm of Schumann’s woodland scenes, Ravel’s fizzing impressionistic landscapes and dreamy Liszt conjuring magical spirits and a snow blizzard. On our al fresco journey we also encounter the lesser-known yet equally ultra-Romantic music of Felix Draeseke, and we end with Bartók’s otherworldly images of night. Chochieva is a pianist with as much imagination and sense of narrative as blistering technique and insightful musicianship.
