A feast of virtuosity: Yevgeny Sudbin at Wigmore Hall

A recital programme that at first looked a little random was more than justified in performance

The CBSO shines in a programme of big, energetic music and tender emotions.

Conductor Carlos Kalmar and pianist Yevgeny Sudbin collaborated to play a solid Beethoven First Piano Concerto. Kalmar finished the program with a loud performance of the Schoenburg arrangement of Brahms' Piano Quartet no. 1.

A dark thread ran through Yevgeny Sudbin’s recital at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, from the sombre B minor sonata by Haydn to Scriabin’s infamous “Black Mass” sonata and Saint-Saens’ virtuosic Danse macabre.
