Galina Ustvolskaya (1919-2006)
Sonata for Piano No. 5 (1986)
Daniela Mineva, piano
Program of Transfigured Voices
Hailed by critics as a "vibrant and expressive performer who
could steal the show in every concert" (The New York Times)
and "energetic and lively pianist who displaces power and
delicacy in nuanced sensitivity along with virtuoso
technique" (The Baltimore Sun), Daniela Mineva's unique
approach to standard repertory, combined with the
performance and dedication of works by living composers,
make her in demand as one of the most prolific artists.
As a dedicated new music advocate, Ms. Mineva has
commissioned, collaborated, and performed works by many
young and established composers of our time like William
Bolcom, Lukas Foss, Kaija Saariaho, Libby Larsen, Chen Yi,
Bright Sheng, Frederic Rzewski, Julia Wolfe, Krassimir
Taskov, Vera Ivanova, and Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez to name
a few.
Recorded live date February 26th 2023 at Old First Concerts, 1751 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109. For more upcoming concerts please visit oldfirstconcerts.org
