An Evening with Vladimir Pleshakov

Charles Amirkhanian talks to noted pianist, Vladimir Pleshakov, about his interest in rare and forgotten pieces of music. Pleshakov describes his work with Orion Records to record and publish obscure work for the piano. Pleshakov also talks about his own experience as a young musician growing up in Shanghai, China and Sydney, Australia, as well as his current work, as a student at Stanford University, piano teacher, and touring concert pianist. The two then introduce a number of recordings of Pleshakov playing the works of Asioli, Shostakovich, Grieg, and Medtner.
