Radu Lupu's death this past April hit the piano community hard. He was a pianist who consistently channeled his virtuosity towards musical ends, and was universally celebrated for his poetic imagination and warm, full-bodied sonority.
Pianist, radio host and educator Donna Weng Friedman shares her memories of Lupu with The Classical Network's Artist-in-Residence Jed Distler on this week's episode of the ASCAP Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award winning program Between the Keys, which also will feature rare live performances of Lupu in works that he otherwise did not record by Gershwin, Chopin, Mozart and Debussy.
Tune in to Between the Keys Tuesday November 29th at 10 PM, with a rebroadcast Wednesday November 30th at noon, exclusively on The Classical Network and WWFM.org.
