Master Pianist Mikhail Pletnev plays Rachmaninov

About the Event

Relish the Russian pianist's intense reverence for Rachmaninov — a source of inspiration since his earliest years.

Playing preludes and miniatures from the composer's collections of chamber works, Pletnev reasserts his mastery over the complex rhythmic and technical demands, as well as the resolvedly 'Russian' nature of Rachmaninov's oeuvre. The First Piano Sonata — less frequently heard than the Second — provides an intriguing heart to this solo recital.
