Programme Note

Beethoven's Pathétique is one of the most loved and performed of Beethoven's piano sonatas. It is paired with The Tempest which takes its name from a reference to a conversation between Beethoven and Schindler, in which Beethoven suggested that Schindler should read Shakespeare's Tempest for cues for the piece’s interpretation. This is contrasted with Brahms’ ever-popular Rhapsodies that are rich in theatrical elements.
 
Born in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in the Russian Far East, Daniel Kharitonov emerged as one of the brightest talents of the 15th Tchaikovsky International Competition when, in 2015 at the age of 16, he won third prize with a triumphant performance. Wherever he appears, Kharitonov charms the audience with powerful and moving performances full of young ferocity and darting energy.
At this early stage in his career, Kharitonov’s performances in the UK include the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with Christoph Altstaedt, the London Chamber and Philharmonia Orchestras with Vladimir Ashkenazy. This season he also gave a recital at International Steinway Series in Cardiff in November 2020 and has been invited to Southbank Centre London for his recital debut at International Piano Series.
