Nelson Goerner
Argentinian Nelson Goerner performs Handel's Chaconne in G, Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze and Balakirev's Islamey, a work once considered the most difficult for the piano.
The celebrated Argentinian pianist brings together Handel's Chaconne with Schumann’s 18 miniature pieces, Davidsbündlertänze, which the composer began working on just a week after his secret engagement to Clara. Goerner closes with Balakirev’s Islamey, described by music critic Harold C Schonberg as ‘at one time…considered the most difficult of all piano pieces and is still one of the knucklebusters’.
