Of a recent recording by the young Turkish pianist combining music by Schubert with Schoenberg’s Op. 11, Gramophone wrote, ‘I am happy to report that it more than fulfils the highest expectations ... This very distinguished recording should not be missed by anyone interested in fine piano-playing and heartfelt poetic utterance.’

Can Çakmur piano

Wigmore Hall

Young Turkish pianist Can Çakmur opens our new season with a characterful programme of lyrical colours and rich romanticism. He begins with Schumann’s youthful story of a masked ball where two brothers – representing the composer’s vying personalities – dance until the clock strikes midnight. Next is an epic Ballade, regarded as the most intense and powerful of all Chopin’s compositions and inspired by a poem by his Polish contemporary, Adam Mickiewicz. Can’s recital ends with four pieces written by Schubert shortly before his untimely death at 31. They are rich and atmospheric, delivering deep emotions.
