Performers

Sir Stephen Hough

Piano

Stephen Hough’s “scintillating technique and characteristically sparkling sound” paired with “imaginative intelligence” (The Guardian) make each of his performances gripping affairs. He tests his virtuosity and stamina in passionate storms summoned by Beethoven and Schumann, and draws from a vast palette of tonal colors for the refined and languid music of Debussy.
