Mikhaïl Pletnev, Piano

A multifaceted artist — conductor, pianist, and brilliant arranger — Mikhaïl Pletnev offers a recital of great intensity featuring Schumann’s Kreisleriana, rarely heard pieces by Grieg, and, to open the program, four of Bach’s Preludes and Fugues, of which he is today one of the most fascinating interpreters.
