Denis Matsuev Meets Liszt and Stravinsky

October 13, 2019
1600 Rue Saint-Urbain, Montréal, QC H2X 0S1, Canada

Denis Matsuev can play ten different instruments but the one he plays best, flinging thunderbolts like Zeus, is the piano. (Perhaps you saw him at the Olympics in Sochi, centerstage during the closing ceremonies, ablaze in Rachmaninoff.) The brilliant, Irkutsk-born pianist—an OSM artist-in-resident—barnstorms in Liszt and Stravinsky. —L.J.
