Leif Ove Andsnes Solo Recital at Carnegie Hall (Site)

Performer
Leif Ove Andsnes, Piano

Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes is one of today’s most complete recitalists. Each program is masterfully constructed, often pairing major piano showpieces with true rarities by significant composers. Together, they are played so persuasively that audiences may wonder how such well-kept “secrets” can possibly remain in the piano repertoire. In tonight’s recital, Andsnes performs rare selections by György Kurtág and Robert Schumann; the complete Book I of Janácek’s seminal On the Overgrown Path piano cycle; and Carnaval, Schumann’s beloved set of 21 miniatures.
