Pianophiles await Igor Levit’s performances with eager anticipation, ready to experience the spontaneity and poetic insights of his interpretations.

He opens his programme with one of Bach’s best-loved keyboard works before illuminating the concise thematic development of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in F Op. 54. Levit turns to Beethoven’s ‘Hammerklavier’ in his recital’s second half, addressing the intellectual and emotional challenges of what is arguably the greatest of all piano sonatas.
