Programme includes: Rachmaninov–Rimsky-Korsakov: Flight of the Bumble Bee; Rachmaninov–Bach: Suite from Partita in E major; Rachmnaninov–Mendelssohn: Scherzo, from A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Rachmaninov–Bizet: Menuet from L’Arlésienne Suite
Over the course of six Sunday afternoon concerts running throughout 2014, the internationally-renowned pianist Artur Pizarro will perform the complete solo piano works of one of the great pianist/composers Sergei Rachmaninov.
The complete cycle will present Rachmaninov’s most intimate musical thoughts performed on his favourite instrument, the piano. These works reveal the baring of a man’s soul from a very early age as a fledgling student all the way to a fully grown man.
