The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Whether you are a longtime lover of classical music or seeking an unforgettable cultural experience, this is a concert not to be missed. Prepare to be swept away by the extraordinary artistry of Dénes Várjon, who is returning to PPI after a wildly acclaimed first performance with us five years ago. The evening begins with Brahms’s 7 Fantasies, op. 116, where Várjon’s introspective artistry will illuminate these late piano works' intimate and reflective nature. He will capture the rhythmic vitality and folk-inspired melodies of Bartók's Dance Suite, a piece that embodies the essence of Hungarian musical heritage. The journey continues with Liszt's evocative Vallée d'Obermann from Années de pèlerinage, an invitation to a soul-searching exploration of passion and introspection.
The program crescendos with a captivating selection of Chopin's masterpieces, starting with the Beethoven-inspired brilliance of the Fantaisie-Impromptu in C-sharp Minor. The audience will be immersed in the sonorous glory and über romantic beauty of the Nocturne in D-flat Major. Soon after, listeners will buzz with the rhythmic Etudes op. 25, Nos. 1 and 2, the iconic Mazurka in B-flat Minor, and the rebellious spirit of the Fantaisie in F Minor. These pieces make for the perfect sample platter of the beauty of Chopin's music and legacy. This is more than a performance—it is an opportunity to experience music’s power to transform, as Várjon’s artistry turns each note into an intimate dialogue with the audience.
