Work: Étude in C sharp minor, Op.2 no.1

The Italian pianist builds to a hugely powerful rendition of Liszt’s Piano Sonata in B minor in her Barbican recital debut. 

An ambitious programme demonstrated the musical passions and prowess of this most sought-after pianist, holding the Halloween audience in his devilish spell.

Evgeny Kissin gave a performance of immense power, energy and musical intellect in Beethoven's monumental Hammerklavier and a selection of Rachmaninov Preludes.
