Radio 3 in Concert: Pavel Kolesnikov at Wigmore Hall

Acclaimed Russian pianist Pavel Kolesnikov plays a programme spanning three centuries of keyboard pieces, including sophisticated music for children from each end of the 20th century by Debussy and Helmut Lachenmann, and ending with one of Schumann's most original and personal works, full of autobiographical allusions to his beloved wife-to-be Clara Wieck.
