Overview

With his vast and profoundly explorative approach to repertoire, as well as extraordinary technical facility, the American virtuoso has long been established as one of the greatest pianists of our time, able to encompass not only the established repertoire but a wide range of more unusual musical material which he has consistently championed. ‘What a sound!’, exclaimed The Seattle Times. ‘Ohlsson is famous for that sonority, though he never seems to be working very hard to produce it … an incredible technique with razor-sharp accuracy.’ His programme includes a recent piece by an increasingly prominent young Australian composer whose work Garrick Ohlsson has taken up.
