Song

Big emotions, late-night moods, and piano writing at its most intense

Igor Levit takes on three giants of the Romantic era – Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin – in a programme that moves easily between introspection and brilliance. From Schumann’s shadowy Nachtstücke to the sweeping sonatas of Schubert and Chopin, this is music that demands both power and precision. And in Levit’s hands, it will be anything but ordinary.
