About this event
Siberian-born Pavel Kolesnikov returns to St George’s with a beautifully curated programme of Chopin nocturnes. I Dreams Op 9 Nos 1-3 Op 15 No 3 Op posth in C minor Op 55 No 1 Op 15 No 1 Op 48 No 1 II Memories Op 27 Nos 1-2 Op 37 No 1 Op 15 No 2 Op 32 Nos 1-2 Op posth in C sharp minor III Visions Op 55 No 2 Op 48 No 2 Op 37 No 2 Op 62 Nos 1-2 Op posth in E minor Hailed as a ‘sculptor in sound’ ( Guardian ), and one of the finest exponents of Chopin on the planet, Kolesnikov has taken a characteristically thought-provoking approach to his material, separating his choice of nocturnes into three distinct groups. This will be a rare evening of piano music: intimate and limpid interpretations expressed with an effortlessly virtuosic touch. ‘…unpredictable magic… one of the most extraordinary long term crescendos I’ve ever heard in a piano recital’ Arts Desk Suitable for ages 12+
