A heavyweight pianist comes to the Festival with a heavyweight programme. From the spiky neo-classicism of Stravinsky’s Piano Sonata, Russian-American pianist Kirill Gerstein brings us the first of Schubert’s introspective and poignant three final piano sonatas. Then things get devilish. Ligeti’s Etude No. 13 ‘The Devil’s Staircase’ is an exhilarating preface to one of the most epic piano works ever written. Liszt’s iconic Sonata in B minor rages demonically with Beethoven’s grandeur, Chopin’s virtuosity and Schumann’s poetry to create a narrative drama in disguise that could only have come from Liszt’s pen. A big night beckons at the Sheldonian Theatre.
