Overview
Two of the wide-ranging pianist’s transcriptions form part of his programme. Of the Debussy, he has written, ‘It’s a slow, sweeping piece for which I have added some depth to the piano texture, to maintain the tension. The centre of the movement is a tremendous moment that somehow has to be conveyed with two hands, which calls for an element of virtuosity’. The Schubert Impromptus are heard in their original form, Rosamunde as transcribed by Tharaud.
