No event in the world had made him "as much of a Jew" as the Hamas massacre in Israel on 7 October 2023, said Igor Levit at the time. As a result, he played an album of "Songs without Words" by Mendelssohn - with an urgency that once again demonstrated how closely this pianist combines his musical attitude with his social concerns. He also included Ravel's "Kaddish" from the "Deux mélodies hébraïques" in his recital programme by no means by chance. He also plays works by Shostakovich and Liszt.
