Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes is the youngest and first from Scandinavia to be rewarded with the prestigious Perspectives series at Carnegie Hall, following artists such as Martha Argerich, James Levine, and Mitsuko Uchida. From October to May 2005, Andsnes will explore a wide repertoire - twenty works by thirteen composers ranging from the classic to the contemporary.
"For my Carnegie Hall Perspectives series I've decided quite consciously to be quite eclectic in my choices in order to show a variety of things that are important to me as a musician," Leiv Ove Andsnes says in a press release.
