Programme Note
British pianist Viv McLean returns to Conway Hall for a fundraising concert featuring a wide variety of music spanning three centuries. Three of the extremely characterful Sonatas of Scarlatti will be followed by the monumental Beethoven Appassionata Sonata, a selection of Chopin’s beautiful dances, Gershwin’s excitingly virtuosic solo version of the great Rhapsody in Blue and finally a chance to try out your tango moves with a spot of Piazzola.
“Extraordinary originality, superb simplicity, and fingers of steel behind muscles of velvet. He is an otherworldly young man- he plays with the genius one finds in those who know how to forget themselves, naturally placing themselves at the right point to meet the music, this mystery of the moment.” – Le Monde
