The Vancouver Recital Society's Founder & Artistic Director, Leila Getz, speaks to British pianist Paul Lewis, who is is internationally regarded as one of the leading musicians of his generation. His cycles of core piano works by Beethoven and Schubert have received unanimous critical and public acclaim worldwide, and consolidated his reputation as one of the world’s foremost interpreters of the central European classical repertoire. Paul and Leila chat about his recent performance for Steven Osborne's 50th Birthday Concert at Wigmore Hall, why he practices with earplugs in, and his upcoming move to Norway. They also discuss the interplay between music and audiences, the power of silence, and Paul's longtime relationship with the VRS.
