Live from Wigmore Hall: Inon Barnatan plays Schubert and Rachmaninov.

The brilliant American-Israeli pianist plays two sets of Moments musicaux, written nearly a century apart but which encapsulate the musical styles of the two composers. Schubert's ever-popular Moments musicaux are full of happiness, tenderness, profound introspection, terror and desolation whilst Rachmaninov's more virtuosic set pushes the pianist to the very limits as he pays hommage to earlier composers like Schumann, Chopin and, of course, Schubert himself.
One reviewer described Inon Barnatan as a player having: "A breathtaking charisma that comes from gorgeously turned out technique, a masterly sense of colour, and an expressiveness that can question, weep, or shout joy from the rooftops," perfect qualities for both Schubert and Rachmaninov.

Presented live from Wigmore Hall by Martin Handley.
