Production details
Rarely heard in concert for well over a decade, British pianist Christian Blackshaw - ?a musician's musician' (Pianist Magazine) - returns to the International Piano Series. His recital opens with Schumann's exquisite depictions of childhood memories. It continues with Schubert's penultimate sonata, the A major D959, in which Romantic expansiveness contrasts with moments of profound introspection. Finally there is Schumann's Etudes Symphoniques, an extended set of virtuoso variations involving a magnificent journey of character and contrast. Queen Elizabeth Hall
