Performance on 3 - Nikolai Lugansky

A piano recital given this month by Russian star Nikolai Lugansky at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, part of the South Bank Centre International Piano Series 2011. The programme is a contrasting tour de force of Romantic virtuosic frenzy with music by Chopin and some of Liszt's more technically challenging Etudes, combined together with a pause for introspection with Brahms' Six Pieces for Piano. Presented by Martin Handley.
