Maiko Mori begins her recital with the inventive imagination and character of four of Domenico Scarlatti’s Sonatas. These are followed by one of Beethoven’s greatest and most technically challenging piano sonatas, the Appassionata, which is certainly his most impassioned work and his most violent musical utterance. Kapustin’s Variations Op.41 follow next, combining elements of jazz style with classical form. Kapustin regards himself as a composer rather than a jazz musician, implying that all his improvisation is written out and not free jazz. The musical journey closes with another jazz-classical hybrid work, Gershwin’s Three Preludes. Each prelude is a well-known example of early 20th century American classical music, influenced by jazz, full of colour, with rugged rhythms and exciting syncopations.
