International Pianists in Recital
The piano recital is probably the most personal and individual of all the concert formats, and most years the International Pianists series is as diverse as its performers.
This year is different. Frédéric Chopin, one of the greatest pianist-composers of all time, was born on 1 March 1810 and we’ve chosen to celebrate the bicentenary with an all-out Chopin fest!
In 2010 we say hello to two newcomers, François-Frédéric Guy and Korean pianist Joyce Yang, both making their Sydney debuts. We’re delighted to welcome back Bernd Glemser, following his extraordinary recital of Bach and Shostakovich preludes and fugues in 2007. Also making a welcome return is Garrick Ohlsson, one of the greatest Chopin pianists of all.
In a piano recital, a solitary musician weaves a spell of lyricism, virtuosity and enchanting emotion. It’s an intimate world and there probably isn’t a composer more at home in it than Chopin, the elegant Romantic.
