Igor Levit, the committed intellectual of the piano

Igor Levit, 35, is one of the most exciting pianists of his generation. He has the profile of a committed intellectual, a German-Russian of Jewish origin who does not hesitate to take a stand on social facts (The mirror made its honey out of it with interviews) and who
composes its programs in a very thoughtful way. Nothing is left to chance with this virtuoso performer who has a penchant for large, intimidating works, such as
Variations Goldberg of Bach, the last sonatas and the Variations Diabelli by Beethoven, and currently the Sonata in B minor by Liszt. This 19th century monument closed a highly acclaimed recital on Thursday evening at the KKL during the Lucerne Festival.
