This live album comes from the Hong Kong leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDuring a month there, as the guest of Premiere Performances Hong Kong (October 23 to November 25, 2025), he combined concerts, teaching and outreach. He played for homeless shelters, a blind community and underprivileged children, as well as for conventional audiences. The centerpiece was this City Hall recital, which Gorini describes as a journey \"from pure adrenaline to sublime poetry,\" linked by a hidden thread of repeated notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe program opens with the premiere of Beat Furrer's Studie IV für Klaviersolo, a nervy tour de force of chromatic clusters and erratic rhythms that collapses into mysterious quiet. Brahms's late Fantasien, Op. 116 follows, alternating eruptive capriccios with fragile intermezzos in an autumnal, retrospective mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAfter the break comes Schubert's Sonata in G major, D. 894, the \"divinely long\" piece Schumann admired, warm and introspective and ending in quiet peace. Recorded live at Hong Kong City Hall, the album captures the particular energy of a recital given in the middle of an extraordinary month.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilippo Gorini, Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Classics","offers":[{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57473468203332,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57473468236100,"sku":"ALPHA1263-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57473468268868,"sku":"ALPHA1263-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57473468301636,"sku":"ALPHA1263-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57473468334404,"sku":"ALPHA1263-5","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57473468367172,"sku":"ALPHA1263-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/ALPHA1263.jpg?v=1792061534","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/alpha1263-sonata-for-7-cities-live-in-hong-kong","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
