Classic in the Crypt: Piano Concerto for the Left Hand — Chopin et al. with Yasuyo Segawa

About the Event

An extraordinary fate determined the international career of Japanese pianist Yasuyo Segawa. At the age of 17, she lost the use of her right hand due to focal dystonia. But her great talent and strong will prevailed: she concentrated on playing the piano with her left hand and won 12 international awards. In fact, there are numerous works that have been composed or arranged in this way.

Her impressive virtuosity and orchestral sound make you forget that she is “only” playing with one hand.


The crypt is pleasantly tempered in every season.
