Yevgeny Sudbin

This young Russian pianist has been lauded worldwide for his sensitivity, originality and imagination. The programme for his IPS debut recital places an all-Chopin first half in glittering context with transcriptions and tributes to Chopin by Liszt and the marvellous Ronald Stevenson (b1928), concluding with a transcription of a transcription – Vladimir Horowitz’s version of Liszt’s adaptation of Saint-Saens’s Danse Macabre. Potentially one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century (The Daily Telegraph).

There will be a free pre-concert talk at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at 6.15pm with John Rink entitled The Spirit of Improvisation.
