Mikhail Pletnev plays Bach, Schumann and Grieg in Eldborg

On Monday 19 October at 20:00, Mikhail Pletnev gives a recital in Eldborg.

The second half turns to Grieg: sixteen of the Lyric Pieces, those short piano works named for a butterfly, a brook, a summer evening.

Pletnev was born in 1957 and won first prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1978. He also conducts and composes, and has arranged music from Tchaikovsky's ballets for the piano.
