SUMMARY:Piano Recital with Marc Corbett-Weaver
DESCRIPTION:Bach/Busoni Chaconne in D minor BWV 1004\nBeethoven Sonata in C, O. 53 Waldstein\nLiszt Sonata in B minor\nPiano Marc Corbett-Weaver\nPianist and Artistic Director Marc Corbett-Weaver’s annual recital at St George’s Hanover Square features two great master-works of the repertoire.\nBusoni’s legendary piano transcription of J S Bach’s monumental Chaconne from the D minor Partita for solo violin is filled with passion, drama, profundity and despair as it journeys through the theme’s many different variations.\nBeethoven’s thrilling and exquisite Waldstein Sonata was composed during his extraordinary Heroic Decade (which also gave rise to the Appassionata Sonata, Violin Concerto, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th symphonies, his only opera, Fidelio, and the final three piano concertos). The sonata’s three movements are often likened to different times of day – a bustling morning, dream-filled night and serenely beautiful afternoon.\nLiszt’s monumental B minor Sonata is, of course, a famous masterpiece, thought to be the pinnacle of Sonata form. This grandiose and virtuosic work ranks amongst the most technically demanding pieces for the instrument and is filled with drama, excitement and beautiful dolce melodies.\n“Marc Corbett-Weaver showed himself to be an interpretive artist fully immersed in the subtleties and considerable technical demands of each composer’s writing. Both sets of pieces were given with quite notable interpretative mastery – bringing this subtly-planned and finely-executed recital to a satisfying conclusion.”\nMusical Opinion Magazine\nTickets: £35 | £25\nBox office: buy tickets online via Ticketsource\n
