Production details
Tonight he opens his recital with a deliciously witty sonata by Haydn whose music he has frequently championed and continues with a short entertaining work by the acclaimed Austrian composer Thomas Larcher, himself an award-winning pianist. After the pianistic fireworks of Brahm's Variations of a Theme of Paganini, the second half is devoted to Chopin - the immensely beautiful Barcarolle and the powerful Sonata in B flat minor, famed for its central Funeral March.
