Richard Goode, piano

Hailed for music-making of unrivaled emotional power, depth, and expression, Richard Goode stands at the peak of his formidable powers. He is respected as a leading interpreter of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and Mozart, and commands an uncanny ability to enter and illuminate the different worlds of each composer he plays. From San Francisco to New York, London, Budapest, and Berlin, each recital and concerto performance affirms his place among today's greatest virtuosos. "This was playing that wrapped the listener in its spell, playing that made no concessions to fad or fancy, playing that approached the status or revelation" (San Francisco Examiner).

Program: works by Bach and Chopin
