Igor Levit plays Messiaen and Shostakovich

Love and death with Igor Levit and friends at Milton Court

Chris Garlick, 14th February

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.
