Programme Note

Known for his consummate virtuosity and revelatory readings of some of the most demanding works in the piano literature, Yevgeny Sudbin offers a programme chiefly comprising substantial miniatures and character pieces.

The Russian pianist’s recital includes Beethoven’s psychologically profound Op. 126 Bagatelles, misleadingly labelled by their composer as ‘a cycle of trifles’, and concludes with the second of Prokofiev’s so-called War Sonatas, first performed in Moscow shortly before the crucial Soviet victory at Stalingrad.
