Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre

Experience one of the most distinctive artists of his generation.

Sir Stephen Hough returns for a one-night-only performance of Romantic era masterpieces.

Originally met with hostility and doubt from audience and artists alike, Liszt's Sonata for Piano in B minor is now considered a cornerstone of piano repertoire. With innovative structures and a woven narrative, Liszt's artistry and technical brilliance paired with Hough's 'transcendental technique and poetic imagination' (Sunday Times) creates an unforgettable and dynamic listening experience.

With its lyrical and poetic qualities, for which Chopin is renowned, the great composer's Sonata No.3 in B minor is the perfect conclusion to a rich evening of music-making. From the captivating opening notes right through to the nuance and passion of the closing chords, this technically challenging work earns its place as one of Chopin's most compelling compositions.

Post-Concert Talk

Following this extraordinary performance, Stephen Hough joins Melbourne Recital Centre's Director of Programming, Marshall McGuire, in the ground floor foyer for a 20-minute discussion about his artistry, career and more. Take a seat and enjoy this perfect conclusion to your musical experience.
