Programme Note
Pianophiles await Igor Levit’s performances with eager anticipation, ready to experience the spontaneity and poetic insights of his interpretations.
He opens his programme with one of Bach’s best-loved keyboard works before illuminating the concise thematic development of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in F Op. 54. Levit evokes the soul and natural beauty of his native Russia in the Etudes-tableaux Op. 39, written shortly before Rachmaninov joined the ranks of refugees fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution.
