| Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, Oxford OX1 1DP, United Kingdom Sunday 28-Jul-13 08:00pm András Schiff Piano Recital András Schiff is one of the most universally admired pianists of his generation. He will demonstrate his exceptional interpretive artistry as he opens our annual Piano Festival’s series of evening recitals and concerts with Schubert's expansive and adventurous Piano Sonata in G major – a work described by Schumann as the "most perfect in form and conception" of the composer's set of sonatas . Schubert’s exquisitely poignant Piano Sonata in B flat - considered by many as the finest example of the genre in his output - draws this extraordinary recital to a close. Please note there is no interval in this recital.Image credit: © Sheila Rock | ||
