Chopin / Indjic - Piano Sonata 2 in B Flat Minor 35 - Music & Performance - CD

Eugen Indjic was born in Belgrade in 1947. His mother was a Russian amateur pianist and his father a Serbian army general under King Peter II of Yugoslavia. Immigrating to the US with his mother at the age of four, he there became interested in music after hearing a recording of Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu and Polonaise in A flat major. Moved by a desire to master those pieces, he took lessons with Georgian pianist, Liubov Stephani. He made his first public performance at the age of nine, appearing with the Springfield Symphony, playing Mozart's D minor Piano Concerto. By the age of eleven he was already playing Liszt on NBC television, and at twelve he made his first recording for RCA Victor. Over the course of his long career he has won numerous awards at festivals and for his extensive discography. The present release features a recital of the composer who inspired Indjic to take up music in the first place- Chopin.
