The Salzburg Recital builds dramatic tension across a compelling programme

of music by Berg, Chopin, Gershwin and Khrennikov

An adventurously idiosyncratic concert program, the first half of the recital uniting three early 20th-century composers from wholly contrary musical traditions: Austria, Russia and the United States.
