International Piano Series
The International Piano Series is one of the world’s most prestigious platforms for solo piano recitals.
Overview
The International Piano Series is devised, coordinated and developed by HarrisonParrott, as part of a consortium which includes Askonas Holt, Terry Harrison Artists Management, Ingpen & Williams, Intermusica and International Classical Artists and Victoria Rowsell Artist Management, all in association with Southbank Centre.
Programme details
The 2011/12 season marks the bicentenary of Liszt with a special focus on Pierre-Laurent Aimard appearing in three major events, two featuring Liszt and also one day of performances focusing on Pierre Boulez as part of Southbank Centre’s wider celebration, Exquisite Labyrinth: the music of Pierre Boulez. Alice Sara Ott and Alexei Volodin make their debuts in the Series and there is also a rare London recital by Arcadi Volodos.
Reviews
“At the Southbank, for the third time already this year following Daniel Barenboim and Krystian Zimerman, another great pianist was causing queues, extra seating on stage and standing ovations. Maurizio Pollini's Chopin recital was always going to be an "event", and so it proved.” (The Observer, March 2010)
“On the evening of Chopin’s second possible birth-day, HarrisonParrott and Southbank Centre pulled off another coup (the first was to engage Krystian Zimerman the week before for this composer’s ‘other’ potential day of arrival) by asking Maurizio Pollini to distil his particular brand of Chopin interpretation.” (Classical Source, March 2010)
“The sonata's scherzo was ripplingly fluent, the funeral march full of magical colours and gradations, its transition to the enigmatic finale perfectly stage-managed. An astounding account of the great B flat Scherzo Op 31 then followed.” (The Guardian, February 2010)
