Pavel Kolesnikov performs a kaleidoscope of 19th-century works for the piano.

Pavel Kolesnikov performs a kaleidoscope of 19th-century works by pianist-composers Beethoven, Liszt and Scriabin, who between them expanded the possibilities of the instrument.

Former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Pavel Kolesnikov performs works by three pianist-composers whose careers spanned the whole of the 19th century and expanded the repertoire exponentially. Beethoven’s Tempest Sonata was posthumously named according to an anecdote by Schindler, his publisher, after Beethoven suggested he read ‘Shakespeare’s Tempest’ to better understand the mood of this work. The short pieces by Liszt which open the recital demonstrate Liszt’s ability to marry technical wizardry, harmonic richness and simple poetry. Scriabin too shows his ability to create a series of perfect miniatures and a deep empathy for the piano.
