Svetlana Karpunkina performs works by Franz Schubert, Alexander Skrjabin and Dimitri Schostakovich

Here, she plays sonatas by Schubert and Skrjabin as well as Schostakovich’s Prelude and Fugue in D minor.
Pianist Arbo Valdma has praised Svetlana Karpunkina as an “extraordinarily talented pianist. Thanks to the brilliant mastery of her instrument, she is a confident interpreter with a secure feel for style and musical intelligence. She is, at the same time, a very sensitive musician.”
