Alexandre Kantorow, piano*
The recital includes Liszt’s haunting piano variations on themes from Bach’s twelfth cantata, Chopin’s dreamy C-sharp minor Prelude, and Scriabin’s Sonata No. 10, nicknamed the “insect sonata” because of all the restless trills in the score. Nikolai Medtner’s rarely performed first sonata is all lyricism and logic.
Patron Sponsors: Art Berliner and Marian Lever
