Recital A Diva is Born — Grigorian · Joo

Great Festival House

 "Rachmaninov had big hands!" But not only Rachmaninov, but also Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, and perhaps even Johann Sebastian Bach: They are all part of the rapid journey through the history of the piano concerto, which we are taking together with Hyun-ki Joo, the British-Austrian pianist of Korean descent, who in the past twice shook up our Carnival concert with his partner in crime Aleksey Igudesman. The two have since gone their separate ways and launched successful solo careers. What has remained, however, is Hyung-ki Joo's irrepressible joy in musical storytelling, according to the motto: "Everything you always wanted to know about the piano, but were never afraid to ask!" Entertaining and knowledgeable, fast-paced and highly emotional: All of this is our concert Pur 4 , which we hope will give even piano novices a few catchy tunes!
