More Information:

Here on one program are two of the noblest piano sonatas ever written: Beethoven’s turbulent, Schubert’s touching and deep. “Lupu’s mastery [was] consistently evident, with time seeming to stand still,” wrote the Miami Herald of a recent performance of this same Schubert. Opening the recital is a mysteriously beautiful piano work by Janáček, a unique composer who is always surprising, and always goes directly to the heart.
