Stephen Kovacevich  joins in ever-illuminating Martha Argerich Festival in Hamburg this summer. Kovacevich will appear at Elbphilharmonie Kleiner Saal  on June 28th playing Berg’s Sonata Op.1. A passionate advocate for Berg, Stephen Kovacevich is renowned for his interpretation of the Sonata: “He endowed the music with a sense of fluid movement that sometimes turned into cadence, and Berg could be heard confronting his own role in the 20th century with Kovacevich on piano as a vehicle to develop it. He stretched the ten minutes into an eternity and held the final resolution, the first and only resolution of the Sonata, as if he never wanted it to end”.
