Pianist Inna Faliks plays Beethoven

Inna Faliks performs an all-Beethoven recital featuring the last of the 32 sonatas, Opus 111, in celebration of her new acclaimed Beethoven disc on MSR Classics.  

"Faliks captures the turbulent aspect of the first movement of Opus 111 just right ... the second movement balances perfectly.... Rarely have performances measured up to the music as well as here." ~ American Record Guide

Called "adventurous" and "passionate" by The New Yorker and "poetic" by Time Out New York, Ukrainian-born pianist Inna Faliks made her debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She has since performed on many of the world's great stages, with numerous orchestras and conductors such as Leonard Slatkin and Keith Lockhart, and in solo appearances in Carnegie Hall's Weill Concert Hall, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Paris' Salle Cortot, Chicago's Orchestra Hall, Moscow's Tchaikovsky Hall, to name some. She is a frequent recitalist on Los Angeles County Museum of Art concerts. Critics praise her "courage to take risks, expressive intensity and technical perfection" (General Anzeiger, Bonn), and "poetry and panoramic vision" (Washington Post). Previously based in New York City, Inna was recently appointed to UCLA's Piano Faculty.
