Celebrated pianist Fiachra Garvey returns to Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny presenting masterworks of the solo piano canon in advance of his next solo recital at London's Wigmore Hall.
PROGRAMME:
Ludwig van Beethoven - Sonata no. 30 in E major, op. 109
George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue
Sergei Rachmaninov - Sonata no. 1 in D minor, op. 28
Beethoven's late E major sonata Op. 109 is a work of sheer beauty, featuring some of the composer's most heartbreakingly poignant melodies. Gerhswin's Rhapsody in Blue is an audience favourite the world over and an ode to New York. Rachmaninov's Sonata No 1 in D minor is a work which strikes fear into many pianists, due to its colossal scale, technical difficulty and emotional demands. Three works which compliment each other and provide the listener with the full spectrum of the piano's incredible possibilities!
