Join us for this stunning showcase of pieces by two giants of Romantic piano music.
Liszt was possibly the greatest pianist of his time, and his own compositions hint at his tremendous talent. His Piano Sonata is one of his most ambitious works, and his Réminiscences de Don Juan, which paraphrases arias from Mozart's Don Giovanni, almost literally makes the piano sing.
Chopin was another great pianist/composer, and his Ballades may be his greatest achievements. Passionate and expansive, and fiendishly difficult to perform, they remain one of the yardsticks by which all pianists measure themselves.
Full of jaw-dropping moments of virtuosity, this is a thrilling recital for any music lover.
