Pianist Nikolai Lugansky will perform at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Meany Hall. Capable of great refinement and sensitivity in Chopin and Mozart, and breathtaking virtuosity in Liszt and Rachmaninov, Lugansky is a pianist of extraordinary depth and versatility. His orchestral collaborations include such luminaries as conductors Charles Dutoit, Kent Nagano, and Kurt Masur.
Lugansky, already a major artist, has been hailed as the “next鈥� in a line of great Russian pianists by his former teacher, the renowned pedagogue, Tatiana Nikolaeva. He has been described as “a pianistic phenomenon of exceptional class鈥� by the Netherlands NRC Handelsblad and as “riveting鈥� and “stand out鈥� by Londons Telegraph.
For his Meany concert, Lugansky will play five pieces by Chopin and four by Liszt.
