Christoph Richter, cello and Dénes Várjon, piano
Composer György Kurtág describes Christoph Richter as “one of the best musicians and chamber musicians of all the outstanding cellists I’ve known.” One of the most soughtafter musicians in Europe, he performs regularly with artists such as Sir András Schiff, Isabelle Faust, and Dénes Várjon, the last of whom will add “major pianistic personality” (Philadelphia Inquirer) to Richter’s Philadelphia recital debut. The inspiration for this program is the connection between Brahms and Webern through the words of Schoenberg, who talked about “Brahms the progressive.” Don’t miss this opportunity to hear both composers’ complete works for cello and piano in one concert.
