Mykola Lysenko, Elegie Op.41, No.3 – Kseniia Vokhmianina, piano

This is the video from a collection of piano works titled “Elegies & Humoresques”, performed and recorded by the multi-award-winning Ukrainian pianist Kseniia Vokhmianina. Elegy, a musical composition that is melancholy and pensive in tone. Humoresque and Burlesque, musical genres that are humorous and energetic in character. These two contrasting genres display the dichotomy of our everyday life. Sadneess and happiness, tragedy and comedy, good and evil. Reaching for the golden middle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video directed and edited by Zeenol Hossain at Zeenol Hossain productions Recorded and engineered by Zhou Xiao Dong Produced by Warren Estrop More details: http://kseniiavokhmianina.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mykola Lysenko (1842-1912).
