About this concert

Virtuosity galore and expressive chiaroscuro rest as complementary companions in Boris Giltburg’s playing.

The young performer, whose pianism has already been likened in its expressive intensity and scale to that of Sviatoslav Richter, returns to Wigmore Hall following his tempestuous reading of Chopin’s Ballades last season with a lunchtime recital programme of works ruled by Romantic passion and introspection.
