DESCRIPTION:Sep 22\, 2026\nBorn and trained in Tbilisi\, mentored by the Ru
 ssian titan Sviatoslav Richter at the Moscow Conservatory\, for decades an
  Austrian national in Vienna\, the 80-year-old pianist Elisabeth Leonskaya
  continues to astonish\, dazzle\, and delight. Not at the Muziekgebouw in 
 the Dutch tech-and-design hub of Eindhoven\, however\, where her recital l
 ast December was canceled because free tickets for Russian soldiers at a M
 oscow recital of hers supposedly constituted support for Putin’s invasio
 n of Ukraine. Oh\, brother. In March\, The Guardian gave Leonskaya’s cra
 zy-quilt evening at the Wigmore Hall a four-star writeup that read more li
 ke an eight-star (on their scale of five). For an encore\, she’s back wi
 th all-Schubert\, a specialty of hers since her time with Richter. “No q
 uestion about it\,” Gramophone once declared\, “Leonskaya’s Schubert
  … should provide you with a lifetime’s worth of musical nourishment.
 ” Her playlist this time skews light and graceful\, though in Schubert h
 idden shadows are seldom far away.
