Richard Goode, piano: Fancies and Goodnights

“As a curious traveler will collect objects that catch his eye, these short pieces are among the many that have caught my ear with their beauty, strangeness, and unpredictability. I have borrowed the title Fancies and Goodnights from a book of bewitching tales by the English writer John Collier.” - Richard Goode

A true giant of the piano and longtime 92NY friend, Richard Goode returns to our stage with a deeply personal program of piano miniatures, culminating in a performance of Schubert’s immortal B-flat Major Sonata, D. 960 – one of Goode’s signature works. Goode’s 1987 recording of the sonata remains a benchmark, and he brings a lifetime spent with the work to this performance of it, his first in New York City in over a decade. Don’t miss one of the great piano events of the season, and what promises to be a transcendent performance by an artist in his element.
