Igor Levit: Schubert / Schumann / ChopinPiano recital
This event is in the past.
“Igor Levit pushes the piano to its very limits at his Munich concert to great acclaim. With enthusiasm and brilliance, Igor Levit wants to make you dance, whips up a symphonic frenzy on the grand piano, contrives Schubertian loneliness in the Allegretto and weaves idiosyncratically abstract tapestries of sound, as in Brahms’ Scherzo.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung 10/24)

“Levit delivers – and how! Right from the energy-laden first bar of the introduction, the 37-year-old virtuoso’s playing develops a fabulous maelstrom.” (Münchner Merkur 10/24)
“Levit dives head first into the work, identifying wholeheartedly with it. From the opening chord, which he thrusts into the Steinway with all his might, as if wanting to move the whole instrument, he strives to demonstrate that a well-played piano is on par with an entire orchestra … After this memorable performance, well-deserved storms of applause erupt in the Isarphilharmonie.” (Abendzeitung 10/24)
