About this Event
Paul Lewis
Acknowledged as one of the great pianists of our time, Paul Lewis has been a regular visitor to Turner Sims for more than a quarter of a century.
His celebratory recital as part of our 50th anniversary year features music by three composers with whom he is synonymous. Mozart’s popular work, and the three pieces which Brahms described as ‘lullabies of my sorrows’ come between two sonatas by Beethoven including his 32nd and last. Writing about the Op 111 sonata pianist Angela Hewitt has declared ‘…I consider it one of the most sublime compositions a pianist can play.’
