ADDITIONAL CONCERT: Igor Levit
New Horizons

Additional concert: After his solo recital on April 12 at 19:30 was completely sold out just two hours after the start of advance sales, the pianist has agreed to play the concert a second time on the same day at 11:00

Whenever he has explored new repertoire in recent years, it was usually the Heidelberg audience that Igor Levit first shared his adventures with. Extremely complex and physical works and cycles could be experienced there. The music world has been waiting a long time for the interpreter of the "big Bs" from Bach to Busoni to one day turn his attention to Chopin. And now - a real premiere! - two central works by the Polish Romantic composer fill the programme. Prokofiev's conciliatory last piano sonata may seem like a retrospective: on a long composer's life, but of course also on the cycle of piano concertos with which Levit can be heard in the first week of the festival.
