Overview

Join pianist and polymath Kirill Gerstein for a program exploring Liszt and Brahms, two Romantic-era luminaries. Celebrated for his “insightful, boldly projected playing” (Chicago Classical Review), Gerstein opens with Liszt’s gem-like Three Petrarch Sonnets and fantastical Dante Sonata. The second half features Brahms’ youthful and impetuous Scherzo and the majestic warmth of his Sonata No. 3.
