Boris Giltburg

“The piano is the most perfect instrument ever invented to express human feeling,” said Ludwig van Beethoven. In his fourth recital of this season, Boris Giltburg demonstrates how the composer pushed the boundaries of piano playing with innovative techniques. From the dramatic expression in the Pathétique to the subtle nuances of op. 49/2 and the overwhelming power of op. 7, Giltburg showcases Beethoven’s revolutionary spirit. This recital is the next step in his complete Beethoven sonatas project, about which he once said: “It is passionate, captivating, controlling my sleep and thoughts, stimulating, surprising, sometimes maddening. Is it love? Is it life?”
