CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS

Kirill Gerstein, Piano

Thursday, February 20, 2020 7:30 PM Zankel Hall
URL Copied
Kirill Gerstein by Marco Borggreve
Fiery Hungarian folk music, brilliant flights of fancy, and pianism on the grand scale are showcased by Kirill Gerstein, praised for his “blazing technique, [and] wonderful command of color and nuance” (The Wall Street Journal). Hear how Liszt and Brahms fashioned traditional Hungarian music into virtuoso showpieces, Kurtág explored new worlds of pianistic color, and more. For sheer excitement, there’s also Schubert’s “Wanderer Fantasy,” an energetic tour-de-force that soars with symphonic power.
