Youri Egorov performs works for piano by Mozart, Schumann and Chopin

Recorded live in Pasadena, California, these performances preserve something of the artistry of this much-mourned Russian pianist. Not his finest, though. There’s flair and extroversion, but often a harsh tone and in the Chopin some technical slip-ups.
