Murray Perahia's second appearance at the Barbican this season sees the much-loved, highly-acclaimed pianist take to the stage for a solo recital. A deeply thoughtful, highly-intelligent artist, his interpretations are always the result of close study of the music he performs, the results always inspiring, illuminating and testimony to profound reflection on the composer's intentions. His formidable technical skills, meanwhile, seem lightly worn. Whether in Bach, always alive to the rhythmic vibrancy of the Baroque master's music, or performing the great works of the classical or Romantic eras, Perahia's recitals are highlights of any season for those who adore the possibilities, profundity and humanity of the keyboard repertoire.
