"We must never forget that music is movement, always going somewhere, shifting and changing, and flowing, from one note to another; and that movement can tell us more about the way we feel than a million words can."

We were sorry to hear that legendary pianist Alfred Brendel has passed away at the age of 94.
Alfred Brendel made his Wigmore Hall debut in 1958, and gave many performances at the Hall, including programmes of Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and more.
Our thoughts are with all who knew him.

Hearing @igorpianist.bsky.social @wigmore-hall.org.uk is always a highlight for me but today’s concert of Prokofiev & Shostakovich was extra special. Thank you for introducing us to Lukas Sternath—what a talent! Such an exciting evening!

I’ve always admired the work of @cathynewman.bsky.social but this was one of the most powerful & moving pieces of television I’ve ever seen. I can’t think of anyone else who could have conducted that interview with the same mix of professionalism & humanity. Huge respect. @Channel4News.bsky.social
