Programme Note
One of Britain’s finest interpreters of Viennese repertoire, James Lisney returns to Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall following his acclaimed Schubertreise series.
His current international tour focuses on the final music written by Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert: uplifting, communicative music of enduring appeal.
“a breathtaking interpretation of some of the last works of the great composers”
Seen and Heard International
“I have nothing but praise for James Lisney`s piano playing; he combines velvet touch and wide range of colour with complete understanding of phrasing and dynamic shading. This is someone who can really give the mechanical box of wires and wood a singing soul.”
