Anyone who follows Elisso Wirssaladze a little will undoubtedly remember the newspaper comments after her first concert at the Handelsbeurs in 2003: “In all modesty, she left a crushing impression,” wrote De Standaard. “What Elisso Wirssaladze showed us is among the very best that is humanly possible in a concert hall. Today, no one approaches musical perfection better,” says De Morgen. Her program is built around Haydn and Schumann, who is well represented in this season. A classical-romantic sequence that starts with Haydn's most popular piano sonata and ends with the most turbulent. This sonata no. 33 is typical of Haydn's Sturm und Drang period and is therefore ideally suited for Wirssaladze's overwhelming keyboard playing.
