Jan Lisiecki is a welcome and, above all, welcome guest everywhere. This time he concentrates on dances from all over Europe and Argentina in his cleverly chosen and highly interesting program. In the first half of the concert, he presents Martinu, de Falla, Szymanowski, Schubert, Bartók and Ginastera, six composers who all focus on dance - before the dance form focuses entirely on the waltz after the interval with Brahms and Chopin, who Lisiecki always interprets so enchantingly. Entirely on the waltz? No! Because in addition to waltzes by Brahms and Chopin, Piazzolla, Albéniz and de Falla once again take us into groovy Hispano-American realms, before Chopin's lively A flat major polonaise brings the evening to a close.
