About
Nelson Goerner, a discreet but hugely talented master of the piano, is back with a solo programme that reflects his personal tastes. He goes back to the instrument’s roots with a Toccata by Bach followed by Schubert’s grandiose Sonata No. 19, and Ravel’s waltzes which were described by the poet Henri de Régnier as “the endlessly renewed delicious pleasure of a pointless pursuit”. The missing “exotic” ingredient for a first-class piano cocktail evening is provided by Albéniz with excerpts from his Iberia.
