ABOUT THE SHOW

The variety of nuances that Igor Levit brings to his keyboard certainly ranks him among the greatest pianists.

At only 34 years of age, Igor Levit is already among the international elite in terms of interpretation. The man whom Télérama describes as “a Mensch, in other words a being remarkable for his human qualities as much as for the beauty and intelligence of his piano” is considered to be one of the greatest interpreters of Beethoven today. His unique interpretation of the complete piano sonatas, which he has just recorded for Sony Classical, is a real tour de force praised by enthusiastic critics. The album has earned him a Grammy nomination and the title ‘Artist of the Year 2020’ by Gramophone. In addition to Beethoven, the pianist’s heart also beats for the German repertoire, for Bach, Viennese classicism, the romantic keyboard and for the contemporary repertoire in which he excels just as much. Now accustomed to the Parisian stage, the German-Russian pianist returns in recital to the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, in a programme combining two key works by his two favourite composers and two no less famous composers from the Russian repertoire. There is no doubt that once again Igor Levit will thrill the Parisian public with this intelligently constructed programme and his “rather dazzling virtuosity which fades into the background in favour of a balanced sound and phrasing without showiness” (Concertonet).
