Japanese pianist Maiko Mori begins her recital with one of Beethoven’s best known masterpieces, Sonata Op. 27 No. 2, popularly known as ‘Moonlight’. The musical journey continues with Mendelssohn’s Variations Sérieuses, which demonstrate the height of the composer’s creative powers, both in terms of the virtuosic and brilliant piano writing and the creativity with which he dissects his theme. Liszt’s picturesque work, Les Jeux d’eaux a la Villa d’Este looks forward to the impressionism of Debussy in its aural representation of water and is a remarkable example of Liszt’s use of colouristic effects. La leggierezza and Un sospiro are dominated by poetic ideas and tonal concepts. The concert concludes with his real showpiece, La campanella.
