Overview
A regular guest at Wigmore Hall since her acclaimed debut at the BBC Proms forty years ago, Imogen Cooper explores the parallel paths of Chopin and Schumann, who were both born in 1810.
Her programme embraces the fleeting moods and wit of Schumann’s Humoreske, the delicate shadings of Chopin’s Op. 62 Nocturnes and the wistful nostalgia of the Polish composer’s youthful Ballade in G minor.
