He is probably the most public of all pianists: Igor Levit is an influencer and podcaster - and uses his reach on social media to repeatedly position himself against extremism, anti-Semitism or for climate protection. This is addictive for some, but infuriates others. In the concert hall, however, Russian-born Igor Levit is one thing above all else: a courageous piano virtuoso who pushes extremes to the limit (even programmatically) and develops an enormous presence in his physical playing.
