Scriabin from the amazing Wigmore Hall where I played last night ❤️ magical acoustic. The full recital is available here (Chopin, Medtner, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky): youtube.com/live/ykex372Un…

Onstage at the Wigmore Hall in 5 mins :))) Brahms quartets with the amazing musicians of the Pavel Haas Quartet. Tune in to BBC Radio 3 – it will be streamed live.

I really wish Beethoven hadn’t put any metronome markings in the Hammerklavier. We can’t make them work but we can’t ignore them either, and whatever we do is seen (and judged) through the lens of these numbers. (And we’re lucky that’s the only sonata to have them!!)

Rachmaninov No. 1 – one of my favourite concerti of all times 🥰 tonight with The Hallé and Sir Mark Elder at TRCH. Really excited to be joining Sir Mark’s farewell tour.

Many thanks!!

Some Debussy from Bantry last week West Cork Chamber Music Festival 😀 last concert is available on RTÉ lyric fm (Brahms 1st piano quartet with the amazing Pavel Haas Quartet): rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/…

New piano for the DresdnerPhilharmonie!! ❤️🎹 11 superb Steinway & Sons pianos, with the very first one (!) being the one – with a beautiful, long, singing tone, but also with the power and projection needed for playing big concerti. Will post some music on the piano tomorrow 😀

Dear all, as promised, some music on the new Steinway 😀 Rachmaninov’s glorious Prelude in C-sharp minor. It’s just the phone mic, but I hope something of the richness of the sound comes through. DresdnerPhilharmonie Steinway & Sons

One of Rachmaninov’s less-known preludes – Op. 23 No. 1 in F# minor ❤️ Played my last concert this season at Petworth Festival, this is from the practising time onstage 😀

Rachmaninov Prelude Op. 23 No. 2: majestic, extrovert, bursting with energy. It reminds me of his song “Spring Waters”, with its unstoppable, effervescent drive. The middle section shows Rachmaninov’s amazing multi-layered writing – like 1.5 pianos playing simultaneously 🥰

Rachmaninov’s Prelude Op. 23/3 (from the middle). A wonderfully story-telling prelude, which could have easily been an Etude-Tableau. The ghostly polyphony towards the end is exquisite – and Rachmaninov derives everything in this piece from the same 5-note motif!

Rachmaninov – Prelude Op. 23 No. 6: particularly close to my heart, as it was one the pieces my late grandma used to play. I was 7 or 8 – my first encounter with Rachmaninov ❤️❤️ Rachmaninov said he wrote on the day his daughter Irina was born in 1903 🫠

About to go onstage at Konzerthaus Berlin Berlin with Rachmaninov 4 🔥😍 Antony Hermus Nationale Jeugdorkesten Nederland (NJON)

A Beethoven cycle at the Wigmore Hall 🥰🥰 All 32 sonatas in 8 evenings over the 24/25 season, starting on September 15th.

Rachmaninov – Prelude in C minor, Op. 23/7. A winter storm, sometimes hushed, sometimes bursting out. And so much emotion within (wouldn’t be Rachmaninov otherwise!)… The moment a melody appears above the figurations at 0:25 is magical – a glimpse of stars through the snow

Onstage in 15 mins at Tsinandali festival – Schumann Carnaval and Liszt B minor sonata 😀 You can watch on Medici.tv, live or deferred: medici.tv/en/concerts/ts…
