Georgijs Osokins in Recital: Pärt, Bach, Scarlatti & Schubert

Latvia's most compelling pianist celebrates Estonia's greatest living composer. Set on a wooded promontory near the Gulf of Finland, the Arvo Pärt Centre in the composer's hometown of Laulasmaa is the perfect setting for this 90th-birthday tribute from Georgijs Osokins, a pianist – and recent Deutsche Grammophon signing – who has been described as one of the most original imaginations in contemporary piano playing. Naturally, he plays Pärt (including the hugely popular Fratres). But in this special concert – part of the Nargen Festival – he plays Bach, Scarlatti and Schubert too, exploring the roots of Pärt's inspiration and placing his achievement in a Europe-wide context – a perspective that is measured in centuries.
