Richard Goode | Oxford Piano Festival

A programme that fascinates on every level from pianist’s pianist, Richard Goode. Each work on the menu teases and entrances in its own way – from the elusive conflicts of Beethoven’s sonata to the dualities of the vibrant young Schumann finding his place in the musical universe. In between come two extraordinary statements in sets of six – Schoenberg’s delving into the world of serialism on the brink of the First World War in his aphoristic Six Short Pieces and the strange and beautiful world of Brahms’s emotionally rich Op. 118.
