Synopsis

Bach Capriccio in B-flat major BWV 992 Beethoven Piano Sonata no. 26, op. 81a ‘Les Adieux’ Interval R. Schumann Geistervariationen ‘Ghost Variations’ Prokofiev Piano Sonata no. 7, op. 83 ‘Stalingrad’ Born in Hannover in 1995, Elisabeth is one of the most exciting musicians of her generation. She performs across Europe and, as a former BBC New Generation Artist, is a frequent visitor to the UK. Her current season includes a return to Wigmore Hall and a concerto engagement with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. It also sees her first North American tour. Elisabeth’s performance of Schumann’s Carnaval in last year’s Piano Series was so popular that she was instantly invited back. This time she plays his Ghost Variations, a work composed in the period immediately before his admission to the asylum for the insane, where he died. Works with titles are intriguing and Elisabeth gives us two more. ‘Les Adieux’ was Beethoven’s farewell to his patron Archduke Rudolph, forced to leave Vienna when Napoleon invaded. ‘Stalingrad,’ one of Prokofiev’s three War Sonatas, is hard to pin down. It contains some of Prokofiev’s most dissonant and brutal writing but also some of his warmest. The contrast is a perpetually interesting one. SJE Arts GS
