Called "a brilliant musician and an extraordinary visionary" by The Wall Street Journal, pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard is renowned for his masterfully intuitive performances of works both cutting edge and deeply historic. This afternoon performance of musical fantasias is a prime example, opening with a piece by J. P. Sweelinck—a foundational Dutch fantasia composer of the late 16th century—and proceeding through roughly 400 years of works from the expansive, evolving tradition. Discover musical innovations and explorations by Sweelinck, Mozart, C.P.E. Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Ives, and Carter.
