Lukas Geniušas PROKOFIEV Piano Sonata No.2, Op. 14 - Piano Sonata No. 5, Op. 38/135 - 10 Pieces for Piano, Op. 12

Known for his innate curiosity and extensive musical interests, Lukas explores a wide range of repertoire, from the baroque to works by contemporary composers. His repertoire spans from Beethoven Piano Concerti through to Hindemith’s Ludus Tonalis and John Adams, as well as a strong interest in Russian repertoire such as Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and, of course, Prokofiev. He is an avid chamber musician and an extremely inquisitive performer and enjoys working on new works by modern composers, as well as resurrecting rarely performed repertoire.
For his first album at Mirare, pianist Lukas Geniušas offers us a program dedicated to two Prokofiev youth monuments and the only sonata he wrote in the West. In the course of these works that four decades separate, a constant remains: the attachment of the composer for his beloved Russia.
