About this concert

Hailed by Gramophone as a ‘remarkably gifted pianist’, Anthony Hewitt’s work is already well known to Wigmore Hall audiences.

Two piano sonatas, Beethoven’s intimate Op. 109 and Skryabin’s equally concise Op. 30, lead to Chopin’s wistful Barcarolle, his harmonically daring Polonaise-fantaisie of 1846 and the ‘Heroic’ Polonaise in A♭, a blazing icon of Romantic music.
