Overview
Adrian Brendel’s eloquent artistry, praised by the Guardian for its ‘quiet, unobtrusive musicality,’ will be familiar to Wigmore Hall audiences, thanks not least to his performances as a long-serving member of the Nash Ensemble and frequent collaborations with like-minded artists. He is joined this evening by Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon, a consummate chamber musician renowned for the clarity and singing line of his playing.
