Paul Lewis, piano

Presented by the Vancouver Recital Society as part of the Great Performances Series at the Chan Centre.

Delving into music with passionate spontaneity and heart-wrenching intimacy, Paul Lewis has scaled the heights to sit among the legendary interpreters of Beethoven and Schubert. With luminosity, clarity and poetic insight, Lewis reveals Schubert’s heart-stopping emotional world, where the simplest things seem most profound.

From the New York Times:”‘When Schubert wants to tell you something important,” Paul Lewis says, “he will usually lower his voice rather than raise it — he draws you into the message, rather than projects it out to you.’

Program:

Franz Schubert

Sonata in C minor, D.958
