A feast of piano music: In the second hour, we’ll hear performances by Alexander Paley as the pianist joins me in the studio to discuss his Richmond music festival, marking its 20th anniversary with four concerts from Sept. 22 to 24 at St. Luke Lutheran Church. And we’ll hear new and recent recordings by Krystian Zimerman, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Evgeny Kissin, Fazil Say, Arcadi Volodos, and the duo of Martha Argerich & Stephen Kovacevich.
