Programme Note
Chinese-American pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu is establishing an international reputation as “one of the most exciting pianists of our time… a deep thinker, thoroughly in command” (The Arts Desk). His playing has been praised for its “stunning virtuosity” (Boston Music Intelligencer) and as “a fantasy of sounds and colours” (Christopher Axworthy) that “combines phenomenal technique with a profound sense of interpretative clarity” (Apple Music).
That final review from Apple Music comes in support of his recent album, which features two of the works in the programme he'll play here: Ravel's Miroirs and Tailleferre's Pastorale. Alongside these French works from the last century, Fu brings a recent work by Cassandra Miller, and a late Beethoven sonata.
