Leif Ove Andsnes' PICTURES REFRAMED European Premiere November 24th

“…a stunning achievement. Far more than merely another multimedia collaboration for our multitasking, iPod-toting era, it brilliantly illumines Mussorgsky’s achievement in ways that transcend the literalism of words, images, and notes on a page.”

So wrote the San Francisco Classical Voice of the Pictures Reframed release. And now the project comes to Brussels with the European Premiere taking place on 24th November.

Journalists and audience alike have found the project both fascinating and challenging. In one blog from Washington this weekend a member of the audience wrote "In the crowded elevator leaving the concert, the silence was heavy as thoughts and reactions were surely in development. Then a simple question was posed by a smiling man: “What did you all think...?” And just like that, former strangers were now connected and engaged. If nothing else, Andsnes and Rhode created dialogue and passion among the patrons of their art, a much needed element to keep the field living and breathing. For better or worse or unknowing, at least the audience members felt something."
