Kirill Gerstein Piano Recital

Longtime Festival collaborator Kirill Gerstein, praised by The Guardian as “a peerless performer,” offers a rich Romantic recital program that includes Chopin’s Polonaise-Fantasy—a visionary work that, while writing the piece, the composer described as something he didn’t “yet know what to call”; Liszt’s flamboyant, Chopin-influenced Polonaise No. 2; and Schumann’s Carnival Scenes from Vienna, which moves masterfully and innovatively between the festive and the somber.
