Pierre-laurent Aimard, Piano November 13, 2012

Widely acclaimed as a key figure in the new music world and as a uniquely significant musical voice in repertoire of the past, French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard enjoys a career that transcends traditional boundaries. Praised for his "staggering technique, searching intellect and fantastical imagination" (New York Times), Aimard presents a fascinating program juxtaposing monumental works by Schumann and Debussy with nocturnes by Heinz Holliger, the contemporary Swiss composer who is sometimes called a “modern Schumann” because of his penchant for using melody to express a spiritual impulse.
