CANCELLED: Igor Levit / Piano Recital
The programme for this event has had to be changed as a result of the coronavirus situation
The Continuation of a Total Work of Art
Concerts at the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle are currently subject to coronavirus-related restrictions. This event is therefore going ahead with an amended programme and reduced seating capacity. There will be two concerts on 11 November 2020 at 18:30 and 21:00.
»Levit plays as if that were the only possibility. As if it all had to be exactly that way. And you believe every note he plays,« wrote Florian Zinnecker for Die ZEIT about Igor Levit’s spectacular opening concerts for the great Beethoven cycle in September 2019. In the 2020/21 season, it’s time for a second round with ProArte: with four further concerts, the 32-year-old pianist, who was recently appointed Professor at the Hanover Hochschule für Musik und Theater, takes up the challenge and completes the performance of all 32 piano sonatas in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. And that not because these unique works of the piano repertoire were conceived as a total work of art, but because Levit makes them so with his unequivocal performances.
