Korean pianist Grace Yeo presents a diverse programme, which introduces some of the beautiful and inspiring piano music written by the early 20th century English composers Frank Bridge and York Bowen. Rarely performed after the composer’s death, many of Bridge’s major compositions began to achieve a wider critical acclaim in the early 1970s thanks to Benjamin Britten’s continuous efforts to popularise the music. Opening her programme with Bridge’s A Fairy Tale, masterfully crafted and full of haunting harmonies, Grace moves onto one of Beethoven’s remarkable early piano works, Sonata in D Major Op. 10 No.3, where the composer explores the full range of the keyboard in four contrasting movements. Following Bowen’s dreamy Berceuse and fiery Moto Perpetuo, Grace draws the audience into a stormy Sonata in g minor by Schumann, a work of great passion and typically combining dramatic urgency with moments of rapt tenderness.
