About event
Emanuel Ax is a living legend and known as a poetic pianist. Compared to young, nimble-fingered virtuosos, his recitals feel like oases of peace. NRC Handelsblad wrote about him: “Ax approaches the music from an all-encompassing gentleness. He loves every note he plays. His instrumental baggage and his exceptional musical drive make him the Rolls Royce among pianists: strong and dynamic, shiny and subtle, able to traverse even the most inhospitable musical landscapes with royal flexibility.”
In December 2023, Ax gave a particularly convincing concert in the Great Pianists Series in the Royal Concertgebouw. During this recital he plays Schubert's Impromptus op. 142 and Schumann's Arabesque and Fantasie, one of his favorite works. You will also hear Excursions by the American composer Samuel Barber, which was premiered by Horowitz in 1944.
