About this concert

Almost 20 years have passed since Russian pianist Nikolai Demidenko, a regular Wigmore Hall performer, last programmed Schubert for a recital at the venue.

This concert reflects Demidenko’s affinity and admiration for the lyricism of the Impromptus D899, intensely focused creations of the composer’s final year, set here in company with the Drei Klavierstücke D946 and the emotionally charged Piano Sonata in C minor D958.
