Sounds from the Drawer no. 4

Pianist Effie Agrafioti presents her fourth installment in the ‘Sounds from the Drawer’ series, in which once again she performs pieces which she has discovered through her ongoing research. Her performance is original and dynamic, flowing and spontaneous, where virtuosity is never an end in itself, but rather a means to achieving natural and expressive interpretations. The classical, the modern, the romantic are in constant communication, and bring out the beauty of the works by nine female and five male composers.
