SCHUMANN & CHOPIN FOR SOLO PIANO Stephen Hough
Voted one of Classic FM’s top 25 greatest pianists ever, Stephen Hough returns to the Crucible Playhouse for the first time in five years.
Described by The Guardian as “a master pianist who lines up with the greats” and voted one of Classic FM’s top 25 greatest pianists ever, Stephen Hough returns to the Crucible Playhouse for the first time in five years. He performs works including Schumann’s Fantasie in C and Chopin’s breathtaking final piano sonata.
Schumann’s Fantasie in C was described by Liszt, its dedicatee, as “a work of the highest kind” and here it sits alongside Stephen’s own work and Chopin’s final piano sonata, a breathtaking and dramatic work.
