About

Olga Samarov was a very fine teacher and was married to Leopold Stokowski for ten years. Critics often wrote of her amazing power at the piano. Her roll of the Brahms Rhapsody in G minor could have been recorded recently rather than ninety years ago, such is the freshness of her playing.
Faure’s Impromptu Op.31 is given a poised rendition here with beautiful phrasing and grand style. But it is the Chopin Sonata in B minor that really takes our attention – a timeless interpretation, a spacious opening movement, a fleeting scherzo, a thoughtful largo and a noble finale.
The disc, which concludes this series, also features some further excellent performances of Ravel, Debussy and Saint-Saëns by a selection of very accomplished female pianists.
