A pianist of awesome technique, artistic refinement, and a keen musical imagination, Sir Stephen Hough joins us. The MacArthur "Genius" Grant recipient and one of The Economist's "Twenty Living Polymaths" brings a characteristically dazzling program: Mompou's "magic songs" of 1919, ecstatic Scriabin, and glistening Debussy for the program's first half. Hough's own Partita leads to the program's final works: Liszt's Three "Petrarch Sonnets" and the "Dante" Sonata, each putting Hough's technical and interpretive gifts on full display. A feast for piano music lovers.
