Overview

In a fascinating programme spanning six centuries of repertoire, Jeremy Denk charts the history of Western music from the Medieval and Renaissance worlds of Machaut, Binchois and Frescobaldi to Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, and journeys via Stockhausen, Ligeti and Philip Glass back to Binchois.

Praised by The New York Times as an artist ‘you want to hear no matter what he performs’, Jeremy Denk stands among the leading musicians of his generation.

The American pianist, honoured by Musical America as its 2014 Instrumentalist of the Year, is blessed with the potent combination of intellectual curiosity, expressive generosity and poetic spirit, qualities at the heart of his strikingly individual interpretations of everything from Bach and Beethoven to Cowell and Kirchner.
