Hear Marino Formenti, a pianist in the lineage of Glenn Gould, as he interweaves works by Hungary’s leading composer György Kurtág with notable compositions selected to reflect the heritage of classical piano music. Kurtág’s Ghosts is a tribute to Kurtág as well as a musical dialogue between past and recent masters, ranging from de Machaut to Beethoven and Bach to Bartók, Ligeti and Messiaen (among others). A bold pianist with Formenti’s credentials comes once a generation. Join us in savoring the piano experience of a lifetime.

“What astonishes is the mercurial speed with which he can change emotions, the lightening shifts from brutal violence to unworldly calm.” – The Los Angeles Times

“He is a wizard, with a wealth of tone colors at his disposal, a huge dynamic range and the ability to get around the keyboard with terrifying accuracy.” – The San Francisco Chronicle
