Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues Op. 87

July 4, 2025

The internationally renowned pianist Yulianna Avdeeva presents Shostakovich’s 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87, one of the most important works in the piano repertoire. This monumental cycle harks back to Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier and is considered one of the most demanding works for piano ever written. Avdeeva joins an elite group of pianists who have undertaken the challenge of performing the complete opus, which is rarely heard in its entirety.
