Piano stars

5 recitals, in black and white, to present the great pianists of our time.

The recitals on the Grand Steinway at the Salle Philharmonique feature five of the most captivating personalities, including two First Prize winners of the Queen Elisabeth Competition, Lukáš Vondráček, who explores a world of fantasy ranging from Schumann to Brahms and Scriabin, and Jonathan Fournel, whose subtle touch enchants his audiences. Also on the bill are Elisabeth Leonskaja, the grande dame of the Russian school, with her powerful, ethereal playing, Maki Namekawa, Philip Glass's muse, and not forgetting the triumphant Nikolaï Lugansky, in Mendelssohn, Chopin and his own arrangements of Wagner.
