Overview

Leslie Howard has devised another fascinating programme from the less-trammelled reaches of the Romantic piano repertoire, including marvellous sonatas by Sibelius and Glazunov – exact contemporaries (and great drinking buddies!), wistful and prophetic waltzes from Liszt’s final years, and a powerful operatic fantasy from Liszt’s time as a travelling virtuoso and musical missionary.
