Piano Recital by Yevgeny Sudbin

Event Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2020, 7.30pm
Venue: Victoria Concert Hall

YEVGENY SUDBIN has been hailed by The Telegraph as “potentially one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century”. As BIS Records’ only exclusive artist, all of Sudbin’s recordings have met with critical acclaim and are regularly featured as CD of the Month by BBC Music Magazine or Editor’s Choice by Gramophone. His Scriabin recording was awarded CD of the Year by The Telegraph and received the MIDEM Classical Award for Best Solo Instrument Recording at Cannes. It was described by Gramophone as “a disc in a million” while the International Record Review stated that Sudbin’s Rachmaninov recording “confirms him as one of the most important pianistic talents of our time”. His 10th anniversary disc of Scarlatti Sonatas was received with equal rapture and not only hit No. 1 in the Classical Music Charts but was also nominated for the Gramophone Classical Music Award. Sudbin was also nominated as Gramophone Artist of the Year in 2016.

Sudbin makes a long-awaited return to Singapore with a one-night-only solo recital of some of his favourite music, including sonatas by Scarlatti, the resourceful and imaginative Gaspard de la nuit by Ravel, a selection of piano pieces by Tchaikovsky, and the Singapore première of Sudbin's own transcription of Tchaikovsky's gorgeously passionate fantasy overture to Romeo & Juliet.

A spellbinding evening of virtuoso pianism not to be missed!
