In 2024 he returns to the Swiss Alps for a solo recital blending high atmosphere (Lyric Pieces by Grieg, Chopin’s kaleidoscopic Barcarolle) with bold virtuosity (Prokofiev’s youthful Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor), effervescent wit (Mozart’s Variations on “Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman“) and, finally, perhaps the finest achievement by one of the piano’s most idiosyncratic poets: Robert Schumann’s unconventional Kreisleriana, the composer’s own favorite of his works. Venue: Salle des Combins (Verbier, Switzerland) Broadcast date: Friday, August 2, 2024
