The theme of the recital by the young pianist Pavel Kolesnikov from Siberia is "the storm". This nickname of Ludwig van Beethoven's 17th piano sonata is probably a reference to a book highly praised by the composer of the Lutheran clergyman Christian Sturm: Betrachtungen über die Werke Gottes im Reiche der Natur.
Storm in the music of Beethoven, Liszt, Scriabin and Schubert
This intelligently composed program is therefore not only about heavenly keyboard violence, but also about the sounding of earthly ups and downs. Perhaps the theme also refers to the stormy career that the soloist is making. His excellent pianistics and his sensitive piano playing in narrative music are internationally acclaimed.
