Igor Levit, Piano at Princeton University Concerts

Igor Levit has become one of the "one of the essential artists of his generation" (The New York Times). Nine years after his Princeton University Concerts debut, he returns at long last with a program that combines his trademark interpretations of J.S. Bach and Johannes Brahms' music with Liszt's colossal transcription of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony - "Forget four-hands piano: Levit seemed to be playing with six or eight. He generated the breadth, force and baffling volume of a full orchestra," wrote The New York Times following his performance of another Beethoven symphony at Carnegie Hall last season. Now we have the glorious opportunity of witnessing this transformation of the instrument by one of the most awe-inspiring pianists of our time.

Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 903
