The explorative Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes gives a recital focused on Central European music by Kurtág, Janácek, Bartók, and Liszt—all radically inventive composers of their eras. Works by Robert Schumann frame the program, including his dizzying piano cycle Carnaval. Andsnes was named one of Classic FM’s 25 best pianists of all time and called “a pianist of magisterial elegance, power, and insight” by The New York Times.
