Edinburgh International Festival: Pierre-Laurent Aimard

85-89 Clerk Street, Newington, Edinburgh, EH8 9JG

Description

Pierre-Laurent Aimard honours the late Alfred Brendel, his regular musical partner, with a characteristically imaginative programme.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard – ‘one of the most essential keyboard advocates of our era’ (The Guardian) – enjoyed a close professional partnership and friendship with pianist and composer Alfred Brendel. In the third of our Brendel tribute recitals, he offers a characteristically imaginative programme of works close to both their hearts.

Brendel had a particular fondness for Franz Schubert. Aimard performs some of Schubert’s shorter lyrical works alongside finely crafted miniatures by his own long-term collaborator György Kurtág – himself a Schubert devotee.
