Igor Levit Solo Recital at Carnegie Hall (Site)

Friday October 19, 2018, 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Performer
Igor Levit, Piano

Program
BACH Chaconne in D Minor from Violin Partita No. 2 (arr. for piano left hand by Brahms)
BUSONI Fantasia nach J. S. Bach
SCHUMANN Variations on an Original Theme
LISZT “Solemn March to the Holy Grail” from Parsifal (after Wagner)
LISZT Fantasia and Fugue on “Ad nos, ad salutarem undam” (after Meyerbeer) (transcr. for piano by Busoni)

Igor Levit’s last Carnegie Hall recital was called by The New Criterion critic “a peak pianistic experience of my concertgoing life. I left the hall feeling high.” Now it’s your turn. Cited by The New York Times for being “consistently game for unconventional approaches to the repertory,” he plays such rarities as Brahms’s left-hand arrangement of Bach’s Chaconne, a rarely heard set of Schumann variations, a monumental Liszt organ work arranged by Busoni, and more.

Mix and Mingle
Join us immediately after this concert at Zankel Hall’s Parterre Bar for a 45-minute mix and mingle.
