Ludwig van Beethoven:
Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 13 (“Pathétique”)

Frederic Chopin:
Nocturne No. 1 in B-flat Minor, Op. 9/1
Nocturne No. 8 in D-flat Major, Op. 27/2
Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp Minor, Op. posth.

The Kosovan pianist Lule Elezi presents her debut recording with much-loved works by Beethoven (the “Pathétique” sonata) and Chopin, which are close to her heart and with which he has had long-standing success on the concert platform.

Elezi’s lyrical, yet powerful playing makes this album particularly enjoyable, and it will certainly inspire even those who know the works intimately to listen attentively.
