Questioning the subtle difference between interpretation and creation, Tsoy weaves together this complex tapestry of versions, variants and variations. Forming the core of this gripping recital, Variations and Fugue on a theme by Handel, Op. 24, is a series of carefully crafted miniatures.

Bach’s Chaconne, brilliantly arranged for the left hand by Brahms, is another instance of a genius humbly sourcing inspiration while interpreting the masterwork of his predecessor. The rest of the recital points to Brahms’s successors Busoni and Reger, who arranged six of Brahms’s Chorale Preludes, Op. 122, and Vier Ernste Gesänge, Op. 121, respectively.
