The irrepressibly virtuosic Khatia Buniatishvili returns to Carnegie Hall for her anticipated debut in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. Buniatishvili has earned legions of fans with her "fantastic fingers, a charismatic stage presence, a warm, glowing tone and strongly expressed ideas" (Gramophone), and her performances always boast fleet-fingered fireworks. In this concert, she performs multiple works by Chopin and Liszt, Satie’s rule-breaking Gymnopédie No. 1, an impromptu by Schubert, and piano arrangements derived from works by J.S. Bach and French Baroque composer François Couperin.
