Nice!
Levit plays interesting rep these days, he’s booked for a Carnegie recital with the Ad nos this fall as well. I just programmed the recorder too, and note that WDR broadcast at a lovely 320 kbps.
I would love to hear the 9th (or any of them).
I think he already plays the 32 so it’s probably that.
Actually, I don’t think he recitals here so I probably won’t get to hear it either way.
I really, really hope his recital here over the winter was a pilot for whatever he’s planning. I’m not sure he would be good in the 9 anyway - an orchestral sound is something he does not have - but from what I heard then a sonata set could be excellent.
Probably not in one day, but I think the most likely bet is that he’ll be offering all 32 as a series - like Brendel, Schiff etc have done in the past. If he does I’d really love to attend them.
Yeah, that could be the case.
I still remember his recital in Vienna in 2013 where he played 101, Shostakovich all prelude op. 34 and Hammerklavier. One of the most interesting pianist of his generation, for sure.
