Murray Perahia

Evergreen pianist Murray Perahia returns with a programme that includes Haydn’s last work for piano, some of the final works written by Brahms for the instrument and one of the most ambitious late works by Beethoven; his monumental ‘Hammerklavier’ Sonata. Mozart’s Sonata in A minor is among his most stormy works, completing a programme filled by dark intensity, expressive virtuosity and intellectual rigour.

‘The spirited phrasing and bright articulation of Perahia’s playing stood out…Every inflection was delivered like a great actor bringing extra space and subtle weight to familiar lines.’ The Guardian
