Igor Levit inspires his audience in the Elbphilharmonie as on Twitter.

He now published his first book together with journalist Florian Zinnecker who accompanied Igor Levit through out the 2019/20 concert season. Together they experience a time of extremes. It is the year in which Levit publicly takes sides against hate on the internet and receives death threats for it. The year he plays house concerts for hundreds of thousands on Twitter. And the year in which he finds himself – as an artist and as a human being.

A book by “one of the most important artists of his generation … the pianist of resistance.” New York Times
