Listening to Andrey Gugnin's album, Shostakovich: Preludes & Piano Sonatas, and I am conflicted about Gugnin's performance. The album received some great reviews, rewards, and nominations. However, I think that Gugnin only understands #Shostakovich as an intellectual, which he certainly was, but the performance seems to leave out soul. That being said, I would still recommend the album. The album is on sale at Presto Music until 11/27 #piano#DmitriShostakovich@classicalmusic@classicalpiano
