Overview
Elisabeth Leonskaja’s artistry is nurtured by rootsdeeply embedded in the famous Russian-Sovietschool of pianism and shaped by a personality freefrom the distractions of ego and self-servingmannerisms.
She makes a welcome return toWigmore Hall to perform a programme of the richestmusical substance, crowned by Schubert’s PianoSonata in D D850, a work of irresistible momentumand constantly shifting emotional contrasts.
