The pianist Aurèle Marthan, one of the most sensitive and rigorous figures on the current European piano scene stars in a new concert of the cycle The Piano of Cañada Blanch, directed by Rubén Talón.
From the structural clarity of Bach to the poetic and symbolic expansion of Liszt, passing through the freest and most introspective Beethoven, the program traces an arc that allows us to hear the evolution of piano writing and the very idea of fantasy.
Program
- Bach – Match n.2
- Beethoven – Sonata in E flat major, Op. 27 n.1, Sonata Quasi una Fantasia
- Liszt – After a Reading of Dante – Fantasia almost Sonata
