Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Ungarische Rhapsodie Nr. 13 in a-Moll, S244/13

From Schubert and Schumann to Liszt, Arcadi Volodos makes a triumphant return to London's Barbican. 

Arcadi Volodos ofreció un recital inconmensurable desde la sencillez y familiaridad que dan la madurez de un pianista técnicamente brillante y de una gran sensibilidad.

Une sonate de Schubert tout en nuances d'argent, des Davidsbündlertänze de Schumann multicolores, une Rhapsodie hongroise de Liszt enflammée : en un récital, le génial pianiste a montré l'étendue de ses extraordinaires capacités.

Many musicians would be grateful enough to know that a concert would one day be held in honour of their music, let alone their shadow, but the legacy of the great Mr. Ludwig van Beethoven was deservedly the focus of the final Conversational Concert of this series with pianist and lecturer Karl Lutchmayer.

Bringing to a close this season of Music Up Close concerts, Nikolai Demidenko delighted a packed Haddington Town House with a programme of Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt. The programme opened with two much loved Beethoven works: Piano Sonata in C minor, 'Pathétique' Op. 13 and Piano Sonata in C# minor, 'Moonlight' Op. 27 No. 2.
