More About This Event

Yevgeny Sudbin has been hailed by The Telegraph as “potentially one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century”.

As one of very few exclusive artists with BIS Records’, Yevgeny’s recordings have met with critical acclaim and are regularly featured as CD of the Month by BBC Music Magazine or Editor’s Choice by Gramophone. His Scriabin recording was awarded CD of the Year by The Telegraph and received the MIDEM Classical Award for Best Solo Instrument Recording at Cannes. It was described by Gramophone as “a disc in a million” while the International Record Review stated that Yevgeny’s Rachmaninov recording “confirms him as one of the most important pianistic talents of our time”.

His 10th anniversary disc of Scarlatti Sonatas was received with equal rapture and not only hit No. 1 in the Classical Music Charts but was also nominated for the Gramophone Classical Music Award. Yevgeny was also nominated as Gramophone Artist of the Year in 2016.

This event will feature the following pieces:

Bach Fantaisie & Fugue in A minor BWV 904
Liszt Funerailles
Scarlatti 4 Sonatas
-Interval-
Prokofiev Sonata 4
Bach/Sudbin ‘Siciliano’
Prokofiev Suggestion diabolique
