Hailed by the Guardian as ‘an outstanding pianist in every degree’, Pavel Kolesnikov offers a meditation on the Romantic notion of fantasy and the emotional power of shifting sonorities and musical imagery. He places Morton Feldman’s final piano work, inspired by the painting he saw at the Louvre in Paris of ruins of the ancient Babylonian Palace of Mari, as a bridge between Robert Schumann’s delightful ‘Scenes from Childhood’ and Schubert’s spellbinding Fantasy Sonata.
