Overview
Alice Sara Ott’s fiery virtuosity and impassioned performance style ideally complement the works in her programme, from the unrelenting concentration of Beethoven’s ‘Tempest’ Sonata and the cumulative power of the Bach/Busoni Chaconne to Liszt’s fiendishly difficult, utterly thrilling Grandes études de Paganini.
She also surveys the contrasting qualities of fantasy and contrapuntal rigour at work in Bach’s Fantasia and Fugue in A minor.
