Richard Goode has been hailed for music-making of tremendous emotional power, depth and expressiveness, and acknowledged worldwide as one of today’s leading interpreters of Classical and Romantic piano music. Goode has curated a program called “Fancies and Goodnights”—borrowing the title from a book of bewitching tales by writer John Collier—that highlights works that have caught his ear with their beauty and unpredictability.
