PROGRAM
Leif Ove Andsnes performs Schumann, Debussy
Dubbing him "the most interesting pianist of his generation," The New York Times recently hailed Leif Ove Andsnes for his "gorgeous tone, fleet-fingered technique, rhythmic integrity, and textural clarity." Mr. Andsnes brings each of these prodigious powers to bear on his wide-ranging program for Saint Paul Sunday this week, first touring us through Vienna at Carnival-time with Robert Schumann's mercurial Faschingsschwank aus Wien, and next offering three transporting works by Debussy, including the beloved Isle Joyeuse.
MUSIC PLAYED IN THE PROGRAM
- Robert Schumann: Carnival Jest From Vienna (Faschingsschwank aus Wien)
