Watch This Space | Herbert Schuch x BRSO
Programme
Performers
Information about the programme
The exceptional pianist Herbert Schuch will take centre stage in this concert, exploiting the piano’s orchestral sonorities and making it whisper and even sing with absolute mastery. This will be evident in Debussy’s richly contrasting Sonata, which explores the boundaries between nostalgia and playfulness. Bartók’s Contrasts, inspired by jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman, blends together the old European musical tradition and the New World of America. Jörg Widmann’s delicate yet eruptive Nachtstück renders the passage of time audible. Finally, Shostakovich’s Second Piano Trio combines grief and pain in its four movements. Within the intimate atmosphere of the Watch This Space series, this concert, featuring the BRSO musicians’ ensemble sound, will be a veritable gem.
