Programme Note
James Lisney’s …petits concerts take their title from the annual series of recitals given by Charles Alkan at the Erard Showroom in Paris during the 1870s.
James Lisney enjoys a rich musical life, moving seamlessly from concerto and recital soloist to chamber musician, song accompanist and pianist director. Initiatives, such as his Schubertreise series at London’s Southbank Centre, his extensive Beethoven Project or the recording company Woodhouse Editions, provide a platform for his wide-ranging musical sympathies.
In recent years he has given Schubert cycles at the Leipzig Gewandhaus and in Mumbai; held residencies at Carnegie Recital Hall, New York and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw; and he has recently completed a survey of the late music of Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin at St George’s, Bristol.
His recent and upcoming diary includes performances in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
