About

Tchaikovsky, the bright "Pictures from the Exhibition" by M.P. Mussorgsky, the wild "Troika" by G. Sviridov, the thrillingly penetrating "Fantasy for Organ and Metronome" by O. Yanchenko, instrumental music by S. Rachmaninov and D. Shostakovich performed by the Honored Artist of Russia Svetlana Berezhnaya (piano organ) will help to comprehend its breadth and versatility.
