Work: 2 Nocturnes, Op.27

At Carnegie Hall, a lion in winter focuses on Chopin.

There are very few musicians who could lay claim to a MacArthur Fellowship, and even fewer pianists, but then it seems that Stephen Hough is no ordinary pianist: writer, composer and recognised polymath, Mr Hough’s phenomenal playing skills still find time to shine alongside his many other extraordinary talents, and his performance at this recital was no exception.

La légende vivante du piano s'est exclusivement consacrée à la musique de Chopin à l'occasion d'un récital exceptionnel.
