Stephen Hough recital

I can't wait for tonight. I am going to see this. (I took this from the Qtix site)

 

"World-renowned pianist and composer, Stephen Hough, returns to Australia in 2011 for his third tour with Musica Viva.

Winner of the 2010 Royal Philharmonic Society Instrumentalist Award, Hough loves heated discussions, bowler hats and finding unlikely connections between contrary composers. He has devised a program which will take audiences on a journey from the familiarity of Beethoven's 'Moonlight' Sonata to a work many regard as Liszt's greatest composition, his Piano Sonata in B minor, and through the twisted paths of two Scriabin sonatas.

Hough will also premiere one of his new works, jointly commissioned by Musica Viva and Wigmore Hall for this tour.

Program
BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Sonata No.14 in C sharp minor, Op.27 No.2, 'Moonlight' (c 1801)
