Shostakovich: Preludes and Piano Sonata

“Utterly outstanding,” “a ferocious new talent” and “electrifying” were just a few of the superlatives lavished upon Andrey Gugnin’s Hyperion debut album of Shostakovich’s Preludes and Piano Sonata upon its 2019 release. Gugnin was the winner of the 2016 Sydney International Piano Competition, “of whose piano-playing it’s all but impossible to get enough,” – Gramophone.
