Leif Ove Andsnes, piano
The New York Times calls Leif Ove Andsnes “a pianist of magisterial elegance, power, and insight.” Known for his commanding technique and searching interpretations, the Norwegian virtuoso has a special affinity for the music of his homeland, and here pairs Edvard Grieg’s sole piano sonata with Geirr Tveitt’s Sonata Etere, a colorful work from the 1950s that reflects the composer’s deep immersion in Norwegian folk music. “Andsnes reminds you of his capacity to go directly to the heart of the matter. Taking you on a journey of increasing subtlety and introspection, he makes you aware that so much of this music is for those long winter nights” (Gramophone).
Major support for this performance is provided by The Bernard Osher Foundation.
This performance is made possible, in part, by an anonymous patron sponsor.
