For Igor Levit these works “have something incredibly expansive about them, their frequent intimacy notwithstanding. They are not only emotional but also instrumental.” Levit has chosen Ferrucio Busoni’s Bach-inspired Fantasia Contrappuntistica and paired it with J.S. Bach’s exceptional Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in D minor. He also selected Franz Liszt’s B minor Sonata, a highly charged piece that at the time of its composition looked far ahead into the future (which Levit is currently performing to great acclaim all over the world), together with Alban Berg’s only Piano Sonata Op. 1.  These four major works are complemented by four shorter pieces including Alexander Siloti’s arrangement of the famous Air from Bach’s Third Orchestral Suite, Liszt’s transcription of Schubert’s song Der Doppelgänger, Busoni’s Nuit de Noël and an early piano piece in B minor by Berg.
