BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Boris Giltburg

Boris Giltburg (piano) plays Prokofiev, Schumann and Rachmaninov at Wigmore Hall, London.

Boris Giltburg gives a piano recital at the Wigmore Hall, London. Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No 4 in C minor. Schumann: Papillons. Rachmaninov: Piano Sonata No 2 in B flat minor.

Today's live Wigmore Hall recital features the young Russian pianist Boris Giltburg, who has already been compared to greats such as Richter and Rubinstein. He performs a contrasting programme of romantic music, from the dances of Schumann's Papillons, to the virtuosity of Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Sonata. 

Presented by Sarah Walker

Prokofiev: Sonata no. 4 in C minor Op.29 for piano
Schumann: Papillons Op.2 for piano
