Having made his debut with the orchestra last season, Denis Kozhukhin returns to the Hallé at the end of March for five performances of Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.1. Playing under the baton of Karl-Heinz Steffens, Denis gives three concerts at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall (25, 26 and 29 March), and also at Sheffield City Hall (27 March) and Westmorland Hall, Kendal (28 March).

Also this month, Denis returns to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark for two concerts on 19 and 20 March. Having given solo recitals at the Museum in February 2013, he returns this time not only to perform solo works by Haydn and Brahms but also Dvořák Piano Quintet with the Pavel Haas Quartet.

“In Beethoven anniversary year, there will probably be many more “Moonlight”s, meaning the Sonata, than the real thing (though we’ve been lucky to see the crescent in close conjunction with Venus these past two nights). Not many pianists would dare to place it at the beginning of a programme. Denis Kozhukhin’s paradoxically no-nonsense poetry meant that a constant sense of motion culminated in the whirlwind of the finale, a steady move towards implosion mirrored in the piano transcription of Ravel’s La Valse at the end of the programme. In between came perfection in the form of pure song from Schubert and Grieg.”
