Leonskaja’s recorded legacy amply demonstrates that she shares the grounding that Schoenberg and his disciples both embraced and rejected, and throughout this album she illuminates the relationship between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’...the coherency, commitment and expressiveness of her playing is utterly engaging.
