About this concert

BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Khatia Buniatishvili, born in Tbilisi in 1987, lists the melancholic nature of Georgian folk music as an enduring influence on her heartfelt approach to performance. The pianist’s artistic development continues in recital here with Truls Mørk, recipient of last year’s Sibelius Prize, whose gloriously warm tone and innate feeling for Russian music place him among the leading interpreters of Rachmaninov’s Cello Sonata. Both works in this programme demand a partnership of musical equals.
