Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Visions de l'amen, for two pianos

The wonderful acoustics of Milton Court proved to be the ideal setting for dramatic performances of rarely performance repertoire. With Igor Levit at the helm the evening was both technically challenging and artistically stimulating for audience and performers alike.

An unusual pairing of works for two pianos by Brahms and Messiaen created a concert of unexpected contrasts, rich textures and exceptionally virtuosity.

Peter Donohoe and Benjamin Frith (standing in for Peter Hill) performed Messiaen's Visions de l'Amen with intensity, clarity and profound musical understanding.
