Leif Ove Andsnes

Recital by the Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes at the Palau de la Música Catalana, with a programme of classical piano music in Barcelona.

Leif Ove Andsnes is a Norwegian pianist whose career centres on the repertoire for solo piano and piano with orchestra. His recordings include concertos by Grieg and Beethoven, as well as the Mozart piano concertos that he performs from the keyboard while leading the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble with which he maintains a close artistic relationship.

His international career has taken him to stages across Europe and on other continents, where he has performed both as a soloist and in chamber music projects. His discography and tours have built a repertoire that ranges from Viennese classicism to Nordic romanticism.

The Palau de la Música Catalana, a work by Lluís Domènech i Montaner and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997, is the hall hosting this concert in Barcelona. It is a modernist building designed for concert music, and its main hall is the space where the programme will be presented.
