Overview

Olli Mustonen has been inspired by visits to the Karelia region, an area of mystery, natural beauty and imaginative folklore. His interpretations are touched by a corresponding spirit of openness to the moment. The Finnish pianist’s latest Wigmore Hall recital opens with a Beethoven rarity before moving to Schumann’s evocative childhood reminiscences in Kinderszenen and the engrossing complexities of Prokofiev’s Sixth Piano Sonata.
