After his 2023 Carnegie Hall debut, Alexandre Kantorow was called “an exemplar of a new generation” by The New York Times, whose critic noted the “intriguing tension between Kantorow’s lucid, pearly touch and the Romantic wildness of his music making.” Tonight, the Gilmore Artist Award winner and International Tchaikovsky Competition Gold Medalist returns to even greater anticipation. His program features several rarely performed works: Medtner’s Romantic Piano Sonata in F Minor, Alkan’s haunting “The Song of the Madwoman on the Seashore,” and a significant set of variations written by Liszt on a theme by J. S. Bach. Well-loved piano works complete the program, including a Chopin prelude, Scriabin’s famously demanding Vers la flamme, and Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 32—the composer’s last work in the form.
