Who’s playing the Chopin birthday concert in Warsaw?
main
Yundi Li returns on Saturday to the Philharmonic Hall where he won the Chopin International Comeptition 14 years ago. There has been a last-minute ticket surge after it was announced that the recital will not be broadcast.
Programme:
Fryderyk Chopin:
- Nocturne in B flat minor, Op. 9 No. 1
- Nocturne in E flat major, Op. 9 No. 2
Robert Schumann: Fantasy in C major, Op. 17
***
Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata in F minor, Op. 57 „Appassionata”
Fryderyk Chopin: Andante spianato et Grand Polonaise Brillant in E flat major, Op. 22
How would a Krystian Zimerman recital sell at the same venue on the same occasion?
No doubt Zimerman is no Yundi, but he is Polish and a previous Chopin Competition winner.
The previous concert (not a recital) with Krystian Zimerman in Warsaw on 22 September 2013 sold out in 30 minutes 🙂
