SUMMARY:Prokoviev Sonatas at West Road Concert Hall
DESCRIPTION:Prokofiev’s second sonata\, composed in 1912\, has endlessly fascinated pianists: a paradoxical series of superimposed ideas\, where Romanticism\, parody\, brutality\, tender lyricism\, and infinite changes of texture compete; indeed\, one musicologist has described it as an example of ‘polypersonalia’. Its large-scale architecture\, arresting complexity\, brilliance\, dreamy narratives and toccata-like finale make it one of the composer’s greatest works. \nThis concert sets Prokofiev’s masterpiece in the wider context of 20th-century Russian piano music with Kabalevsky’s witty and poised piano miniatures\, his delightful children’s pieces and his first sonatina. Two meditative and poetic works by Fauré provide a starkly contrasting contemporary context to the rest of this programme \nOslo-born David Christophersen\, Artistic Director of the Cambridge Concert Artists series at West Road Concert Hall\, has performed throughout the UK\, including the Woburn Abbey Festival\, Bristol’s St. George’s\, Edinburgh’s Reid Hall\, Oxford’s Holywell Music Room\, London’s St John’s Smith Square and broadcast for BBC Radio 3. \nADC Ticketing 01223 300085 – £20-00 | Concessions: £12-00 (under-18s\, students\, unwaged\, and senior citizens).
