Following a performance with the Hamburg Symphony in January that was described as “an injection of energy” by the Hamburger Abendblatt, Denis Kozhukhin returns to the orchestra for another concert at the Laeizhalle on 26 June 2016.

Conducted again by the orchestra’s Chief Conductor Jeffrey Tate, Kozhukhin performs Shostakovich Piano Concerto No.2, part of a programme that also features George Benjamin Ringed by the Flat Horizon and Schubert Symphony No.8 in B minor ‘Unfinished’.

“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.”
