As part of his mini tour of Italy in March 2023, Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki presents an innovative programme from Naples's intimate Teatro Sannazaro. This is a Chopin recital with a difference, in which Lisiecki interweaves the Etudes Op. 10 with a selection of Nocturnes, contrasting the virtuosic demands of the former with the lyricism of the latter to show the many different facets of the Polish composer.
