Programme Note
Argentinian pianist Leandro Avalle joins us again to introduce and perform a programme of preludes by composers of different periods including Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Scriabin, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Ginastera. An informative and wide-ranging recital including some of the most attractive pieces in the piano repertoire, tracing the history of the keyboard prelude from its 'unmeasured' beginnings to its full flowering in the works of romantics and impressionists, reaching the new languages of our days.
