About this event
Described by their composer as ‘pedagogical performance pieces’, György Kurtág’s Játékok (Games) has evolved from its beginnings in 1973 as a response to the spontaneity of children playing piano to become one of the most important landmarks of contemporary classical music. Pierre-Laurent Aimard, described by the Guardian as ‘the perfect guide’ to the collection’s enigmatic, exquisitely beautiful miniatures, begins his day-long journey into the work’s myriad colours and moods with the first of three deep ‘breaths’. He is joined by his former student Lorenzo Soulès, winner of the 2022 Concours International de Piano d’Orléans.
