The Los Angeles Times said ‘Save your superlatives until you have heard Tashkent-born pianist Eldar Nebolsin’. BBC Music Magazine considers him one of the finest interpreters of Chopin of his generation, and Gramophone calls him a ‘virtuoso of power and poetry rivalling Rubinstein’.
Nebolsin regularly performs with the world’s leading orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, St Petersburg Philharmonic and with esteemed conductors such as Chailly, Temirkanov, Slatkin and Dutoit. His extensive discography is particularly celebrated, with critics ranking his Naxos recording of the Liszt concertos with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra alongside the great recordings of Katchen and Richter.
The program promises rich treasures from early Beethoven to the romance of Chopin and the eternal and miraculous beauty of Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy.
