Prize winner in the Viennese International Piano Competition, Sofia Cosma's promising career was tragically interrupted by arbitrary imprisonment of seven years in a Stalinist labor camp. She resumed her career in mid-life to become the most celebrated pianist in Romania. This CD, her first American recording, is presented in celebration of her eightieth birthday.
