Duration
This concert will last approximately 60 minutes, with no interval.
Japanese pianist Yuki Negishi opens her recital with two pieces from Schubert’s Drei Klavierstucke D. 946, brought to light by Johannes Brahms and published for the first time forty years after the composer’s death in 1828. These are followed by Reflets dans l’eau, one of the many pieces Debussy wrote about water and, in particular, light reflecting off its surface. Hommage a Rameau, a sarabande kept in the spirit of austerity and seriousness of intention, honours a memory of one of the most important French Baroque composers while Movement forms the most abstract designation of the pieces. Some of the best known and admired of Chopin’s compositions come next, coupled by Nikolai Kapustin’s Concert Etude. Combining a fascinating and distinctive blend of classical and jazz styles, Kapustin regards himself as a composer rather than a jazz musician, pointing out that all his improvisations are written out, taking away the sprit of free jam sessions.
