Overview

Described as ‘A master colourist with genius like ability’ (Classical Source), French pianist Emmanuel Despax returns to Wigmore Hall beginning with Handel's majestic chaconne in G major, followed by the colourful poetry of Ravel's Miroirs and Chopin's 24 Preludes Op. 28.

‘Poetry fused with breathtaking technical perfection’ Concertclassic, Louvre auditorium, Paris

’Emmanuel Despax is a formidable talent, fleet of finger, elegant of phrase and a true keyboard colourist’ Gramophone

‘This soloist is as comfortable with the spectacular as with the more subtle and introvert passages – all with an impeccable finish. Beautiful playing from a captivating virtuoso’ Diapason
