Piano Sonata in F Hob XVI/29
Piano Sonata in B minor Hob XVI/32
Brahms Four Ballades Op 10
Scarlatti Eight Sonatas
Perenial Festival favourite Christian zacharias is completely
at home showing the full range of his virtuosity and
expressivity in this programme. The rarely played Brahms
opus 10 Ballades are some of his most lyrical piano works.
The spine-tingling first is famously inspired by the Scottish
ballad Edward, a gruesome tale of patricide.
‘his intellect and musicianship shone through’ THE GUARDIAN
