Oxana’s virtuosity, artistry and platform presence so bowled us over when she played here in February 2014 that Banstead Arts Festival Society had no hesitation in inviting her back. The
theme of her highly imaginative programme is ‘Russian composers in exile’, so expect both haunting lyricism and keyboard fireworks.
The programme comprises:
MEDTNER: Sonate-Idylle, Op 56
MEDTNER: Six Fairy Tales, Op 51
STRAVINSKY: Three Movements from Petrushka
SCRIABIN: Sonata No 5, Op 53
RACHMANINOV: Tchaikovsky’s Lullaby, Paraphrase
RACHMANINOV: Mendelssohn’s Scherzo, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Paraphrase
RACHMANINOV: Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op 42
