‘I couldn’t be more passionate about Louis Couperin. His striking individual voice is truly unparalleled for me – except, perhaps, his dark intensity often reminds me of Brahms. He also manages something that Schumann was so good at – finding grandeur in the intimate’
Pavel Kolesnikov makes a keenly anticipated Kings Place recital debut with two signature composers drawn from his extensive repertoire. He is a committed advocate for Louis Couperin’s inventive harpsichord music reimagined in the most stylish way upon the modern concert grand piano.
