A recital by Nelson Goerner is simply unmissable. The Argentine pianist is celebrated as one of the greatest of our time, a true artist who transports his listeners into a world far beyond technical mastery. His sensitivity, imagination, and refined sense of colour make this programme, filled with evocative musical tableaus, come to life.
Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel each conjured entire worlds through the piano, whether it’s the waltzes, ballads, and Hungarian rhapsody by Liszt or the shimmering light on water evoked by Debussy and Ravel’s moving Pavane for a Dead Princess. Goerner has gathered several masterpieces of the piano repertoire and makes them come to life before your eyes.
