The Music You Love!
Romantic Masterpieces, Including a World Premiere
Experience true love and passion for music!
Numerous press reviews have described Sofiya’s
performances as “Brilliant Technique with Soul,” “A Festival
for All Senses, for the Soul and for Life” and noted that her
rapport with the audience is truly remarkable.
Audiences are often astounded by Sofiya’s phenomenal
ability to make them fall in love with the music.
After one of Sofiya’s piano recitals, one listener proclaimed,
“This music makes me want to forgive all!” Another man in
the audience added, “After hearing this music, I want to
live!”
Viva La Musica!
The two major pieces on the program are two of the most
popular piano concerti of all time, composed by Richard
Addinsell and Edvard Grieg.
The Warsaw Concerto by Richard Addinsell was originally
written for piano and orchestra for the 1941 British film
“Dangerous Moonlight,” which depicts a World War II love
story.
The concerto is written in imitation of the style of Sergei
Rachmaninoff. It was such a hit that it made the then-unusual
journey from movie screen to concert hall. This very
emotional music remains among the most popular of
audiences’ favorites.
Being just under five feet tall, Norwegian composer Edvard
Grieg was able to overcome his inferiority complex and, with
his music, reach universal heights. His music captured the
grandeur of nature and life itself. His only piano concerto,
written by this physically diminutive man, is, ironically, a
monumental work and is perhaps the most played and
performed piano concerto in the world.
Although this concerto was originally written for piano and
orchestra, Sofiya wrote an arrangement of the concerto for solo piano. Both the orchestral part and the piano part are contained in this new arrangement. The performance of this solo version is a world premiere.
