Benjamin returns to Carnegie Hall

Yesterday evening saw Benjamin return to Carnegie Hall for a sold-out recital of Chopin’s Piano Sonata No.2 followed by Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit as well as Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in its original solo-piano format.

The new year brings further solo recitals including at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and Chicago’s Symphony Center, as well as chamber music with his Piano Quartet at Vienna’s Musikverein.

Later this season, he closes the Philharmonia’s 80th birthday celebrations with Strauss’ Burleske, conducted by Santtu-Matias Rouvali.
