About
For over a quarter of a century, commentators of every ilk have highlighted the theatrical brilliance of his style. Now in his fifties, Fazıl Say is still full of surprises. On this occasion, avenue Montaigne will rediscover a Suite by Georg Friedrich Handel with its familiar sarabande, a sonata by “papa” Haydn which is perfect for his playing style full of surprises, and Franz Schubert’s last piano piece. Although this Turkish pianist is a frequent international traveller, he continues to add to his catalogue of some one hundred works. His modern self-penned work this evening, Opus 99, is sub-titled “New life”, no less.
