From Wigmore Hall, London.

Virtuosity and romantic intensity are among the hallmarks of American pianist Nicholas Angelich, who began his performing career as a child prodigy in the 1970s. Since then he has specialised in performing Classical and Romantic repertoire, including Beethoven and Liszt. In today's recital, Angelich performs a sonata by Liszt that was dedicated to Robert Schumann and admired by Richard Wagner, along with shorter works by Chopin.
