"Yen Hua-jung 2026 Piano Recital I - Glimmer"
Bortkiewicz and Medtner can be considered the finest apostles of the late 19th-century Russian and Germanic musical traditions, yet their lives also witnessed the tragedies of a changing era. In the spring of 2026, pianist Yen Hua-jung will perform rare works by Bortkiewicz inspired by Tolstoy's novels—the exquisite collection and Piano Sonata No. 2—along with Medtner's "Romantic" Sonata and late works by Brahms, presenting romantic music that blossoms amidst displacement and the contradictions of love.
Program
Bortkiewicz:
"Childhood" Little Pieces from Tolstoy's Novels, Op. 39
Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 60
Brahms: Intermezzo, Op. 117
Medtner: "Romantic" Sonata, Op. 53 No. 1
