Rachmaninov: Prelude, Op.3 No.2; Etude-tableau, Op.39 No.5: Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op.42. 

Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 6. 

A Russian multi-award winning pianist, Sofya Gulyak became the first female winner of the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition in 2009. She begins today's all-Russian concert with three contrasting works by Rachmaninov - the popular Prelude Op.3 No.2, the demanding Etude-tableau Op.39 No.5 and the composer's last work for piano, the Variations on a Theme of Corelli Op. 42.

Sofya concludes the programme with Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No.6, which many consider to be the jewel of the so-called "War Sonata" trilogy (Sonatas 6 to 8). It is large in scale, dramatic and deep in its expressive range.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
