Wigmore Hall

Local Data Company says about Wigmore Hall

Wigmore Hall was built in 1901 by the German piano firm Bechstein next to its showrooms on Wigmore Street. The Hall was intended to provide a venue both grandly impressive and yet intimate enough for recitals. It has always been important for artists giving their London debuts, but it is also a cherished venue for major international artists and their capacity audiences, and now presents 400 concerts a year.

  • Anne Sofie Von Otter and Brad Mehldau

    Concert

    2 Jun 2010 to 2 Jun 2010

    A gig from jazz pianist Brad Mehldau and mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie Von Otter. Mehldau's musical personality forms a dichotomy. First and foremost an improviser, he cherishes the surprise that can arise from a spontaneous musical idea. But he also has a deep fascination for the formal architecture of music and it informs everything he plays, the musical thought serving as an expressive device. Mehldau enjoys juxtaposing extremes, often following a complex improvisation with a stripped-down, emotionally direct ballad. Jazz isn't the only string to Mehldau's bow. In 2005, soprano Renée Fleming premièred 'The Blue Estuaries' and 'The Book of Hours: Love Poems to God', works for voice and piano commissioned by Carnegie Hall, New York, and later recorded to much acclaim. Two years later he premièred his piano concerto 'The Brady Bunch Variations' at the Châtelet in Paris.
