Alexander Kobrin Piano Recital

Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert are not only three household names in the world of classical music, but they also belonged to the same specific era and sphere—the Vienna Classical period. Haydn established the artistic ideals and temperament of the classical style, Beethoven pushed these ideals to their limits and into uncharted territories, while Schubert made the inherited classical style his own, foreshadowing the zeitgeist of Romanticism. In this concert, pianist Alexander Kobrin examines the works of these three musical giants within a single program, revealing the spirit of classicism through his performance style, which is deeply rooted in the Russian piano tradition.
