Paul Lewis: Mozart+

About

The British concert pianist Paul Lewis has received universal critical acclaim for his performances and recordings of the great piano works of Beethoven and Schubert. He now turns his laser-like focus and insightful musicianship to Mozart.

This recital series juxtaposes the many facets of this rich corner of the piano repertoire with works by other composers, presenting both contrasts with and connections to Mozart's piano writing. The transparency, discretion, and humour of Poulenc, and the playful sensuality of Debussy's L'isle joyeuse are all threads to trace back to and listen out for in the piano sonatas of Mozart.
