Nelson Goerner

Argentinian Nelson Goerner performs Handel's Chaconne in G, Schumann's Davidsb眉ndlert盲nze and Balakirev's Islamey, a work once considered the most difficult for the piano.

The celebrated Argentinian pianist brings together Handel's Chaconne with Schumann鈥檚 18 miniature pieces, Davidsb眉ndlert盲nze, which the composer began working on just a week after his secret engagement to Clara. Goerner closes with Balakirev鈥檚 Islamey, described by music critic Harold C Schonberg as 鈥榓t one time鈥onsidered the most difficult of all piano pieces and is still one of the knucklebusters鈥�.
