Youri Egorov plays Shostakovich Piano Sonata No.2 Op.61

The late great Russian pianist Youri Egorov in a May 6, 1983 concert performance of Shostakovich's Piano Sonata No.2 Op.61. 1st mvt. 0:00 2nd mvt. 7:50 3rd mvt. 15:13 Egorov was a stupendous musician of astounding capabilities, and from a very young age his musical maturity and superb technique resulted in remarkable interpretations in a wide range of repertoire. His death in 1988 at the age of 33 in the midst of the AIDS crisis was a tragic loss to the musical world. A number of concert recordings have filled out a discography that was regrettably limited due to his early death, among them readings of works he did not record commercially such as this Shostakovich Sonata. In contemporary music, Egorov was a master of playing with a sumptuous tonal palette, evocative pedal effects, and clarity of structure, without any harshness of sound. His reading of the third movement of this sonata is particularly remarkable for its evocative mood and how time seems to stand still: impeccable phrasing, discreet accenting and transparent voicing that highlight harmony and structure, and ravishing tone are among the hallmarks of his playing here.
