Paul Lewis (piano)
A musical ride through Hell is how Paul Lewis describes Liszt's Dante Sonata - it's Liszt at his most wild and eccentric, a virtuosic dazzler. It's also the piece with which Paul Lewis first made his reputation 25 years ago as a teenager - he has since become known more for his interpretations of the great piano works of Beethoven and Schubert, but now he is taking a more mature look at Liszt's nightmare epic. He contrasts this with some less well-known early Schubert, some early Brahms and Brahms's well-loved Intermezzi.
