Piano a quatre mans

Elisabeth Leonskaja leads this piano duet concert devoted to the classical repertoire of Franz Schubert at Sala 2 Oriol Martorell.

The programme of this event centres on Franz Schubert's works for piano duet, by one of the most influential composers of the Viennese classical tradition, whose compositional career spanned from the early nineteenth century until his death in 1828. On the stage of the Barcelona hall, pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja performs these scores, drawing on extensive international experience that spans decades of performances and recordings devoted to the early Romantic repertoire.

This performer's recitals are characterised by a sober approach to the piano repertoire, prioritising formal rigour and polyphonic clarity over virtuoso display. This proposal suits admirers of chamber music and of the Austrian repertoire who seek an unhurried reading that respects the original text. The atmosphere of the hall allows for attentive, intimate listening, focused on the dynamic nuances specific to the four-hands format.
