Kirill Gerstein
piano
One of the great windfalls of classical music, the prestigious, valuable and happily maverick Gilmore Award is given every four years to a pianist who has no idea that he or she is in the running for it. Past recipients have included Leif Ove Andsnes and Piotr Anderszewski.
In 2010 it fell into the unsuspecting lap of Kirill Gerstein, acknowledging him as a musician who combines high calibre with curiosity and imagination. Born in Russia, he began his studies as a jazz pianist but switched to classical and contemporary. His programme here reflects wide-ranging interests, with a piece by Oliver Knussen that lays to rest an idée fixe of the composer’s scores through the past three decades.
J.S Bach : English Suite No. 6 in D minor BWV811
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Gigue, Bolero and Variations
Oliver Knussen : Ophelia’s Last Dance
Carl Maria von Weber : Invitation to the Dance: rondo brillant in Db
Franz Liszt : Soirées de Vienna No. 6 from Valses caprices d’après Schubert S427
Robert Schumann : Carnaval Op. 9

Louis Lortie
piano
Known to Wigmore audiences for a memorable Beethoven sonata cycle and to CD collectors for a sparkling exploration of Ravel’s complete piano music, Louis Lortie doesn’t do things by halves.
His enthusiasm for the work of Thomas Adès has been similarly probing, thorough, and persistent. Recently he gave the German première of Adès’s piano quintet. In this concert he plays an Adès score from the mid-90s inspired by the idea of angels rising heavenwards in shafts of light.
Thomas Ades : Traced Overhead
Franz Schubert : Piano Sonata in Bb D960
