Fantasia

Igor Levit's highly anticipated album, Fantasia, is set to be released by Sony Classical on September 29, 2023. This exceptional double album features four paradigmatic works spanning from 1720 to 1910, carefully selected and performed by Levit himself. From Bach's profound Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in D minor to Liszt's electrifying B minor Sonata, Busoni's masterful Fantasia contrappuntistica, and Berg's poignant Piano Sonata, this collection embodies both emotional depth and instrumental brilliance. Levit's interpretations are further complemented by four captivating shorter pieces, including Siloti's arrangement of Bach's Air and Liszt's transcription of Schubert's Der Doppelgänger.
