Overview

Childhood wonder and exotic fantasy flow throughthe first half of Benjamin Moser’s recital programme.

The Munich-born artist, acclaimed by The NewYork Times for the ‘organic sweep and full-bodiedcharacter’ of his pianism, moves from the fiendishtechnical demands of Ravel’s ‘Gaspard’ to Grieg’sseductive miniatures and the heartfelt angst ofProkofiev’s wartime Piano Sonata No. 7.
