Tamara Stefanovich - Sonata Marathon
20 Sonatas
Pianist Tamara Stefanovich is not only a gifted virtuoso, she is above all a liberal musical thinker. She demonstrates that once again with this marathon around the classic piano genre par excellence, the sonata. No Beethoven, no trodden paths: Stefanovich instead makes an ardent plea for pioneering works from both the early Baroque and the 20th century. In three parts of an hour each, Bach sounds alongside Busoni and Scarlatti alongside Skrjabin, each time explained by Stefanovich herself. She has previously played this program with great success at the Southbank Centre in London and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, and now brings it to the Muziekgebouw, where she has been a regular guest for over ten years.
★★★★★ - 'a remarkable feat of sustained pianism' (The Guardian)
