With musical intelligence, sensitivity, and boundless curiosity, Stephen Hough offers a recital that spans two centuries of piano music. From the formal clarity of Beethoven to the expressiveness of Schubert, from the exuberance of Schumann’s Carnaval to the concentrated abstraction of Schönberg and Stockhausen, the programme creates a vibrant dialogue between tradition and modernity. The final touch comes as a surprise: the Mary Poppins Suite, arranged by Hough himself from melodies by Richard M. Sherman, as a celebration of playfulness, memory, and imagination. A multifaceted and brilliant recital by one of the most distinctive and complete pianists of our time.
