Sir Stephen Hough piano
Only Stephen Hough could shape a concert like this. We begin with Klavierst?cke ? literally, ?Piano Pieces? ? from two romantic giants, Schubert and Brahms, and two towering 20th-century composers, Schoenberg and Stockhausen. From Beethoven?s majestic ?Waldstein? Sonata, Robert Schumann?s vivid suite transports us to the heart of carnival. And we end ? where else? ? on the streets of Edwardian London, with Hough?s own bravura arrangements of songs from Mary Poppins. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!?
