Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes returns to Carnegie Hall for his first recital since 2015. The program includes choice selections by Janáček, Beethoven, and Dvořák, whose works Andsnes has performed and recorded to significant critical and commercial success. Also featured are pieces by Valentin Silvestrov—the great Ukrainian composer, whose deceptively exacting bagatelles achieve great beauty in their brief duration—and Vustin, whom Andsnes calls "relatively unknown outside of Russia," but with "a strong personal voice which can be almost hauntingly hypnotic."
