Baltimore Symphony Orchestra - Evgeny Kissin in Recital

Pianist Evgeny Kissin brings a solo Beethoven recital to Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, tracing the composer’s imagination across works from different periods. The program pairs Piano Sonata No. 1 in F Minor and Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat Major with the expansive Diabelli Variations, whose many transformations turn a simple theme into a world of musical contrasts. Kissin, who first drew international attention as a young pianist, is known for the intensity and insight of his interpretations. This recital offers a focused chance to hear Beethoven’s wit, drama and invention at the piano.
