Igor Levit

With Beethoven at the top of the agenda in his 2027 anniversary year, there is no pianist more likely to be at the top of the list of performers than Igor Levit. His fascination with the great composer is ongoing. He sums up his feelings in one simple statement. “Beethoven is everything to me. His sonatas are filled with every possible emotion known to mankind”. For Levit, there will always be a reason to continue studying Beethoven’s music, new perspectives to discover and different interpretations to try out. Igor Levit concludes his complete sonata cycle – which has been performed over two seasons in the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle – with the trio of magnificent sonatas, Op. 109, 110, and 111.
