Cadogan Hall
Jeremy Denk plays piano sonatas by Bartók, Scriabin and Bartok, live at the BBC Proms.
Bartók: Piano Sonata, Sz.80
Scriabin: Piano Sonata No. 9, 'Black Mass'
Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111
Jeremy Denk, piano
Jeremy Denk is one of America's foremost pianists - a musician the New York Times hails as someone 'you want to hear no matter what he performs'. He makes his BBC Proms debut in a recital that puts Beethoven's final piano sonata at its core. It's a work that blends extrovert passion with a depth that characterises all of the composer's late works. The programme opens with Bartók's Piano Sonata, a piece strongly coloured by Hungarian folk melodies and rhythmic attack; and we mark the centenary of Scriabin's death with his most famous piano sonata, the 'Black Mass' - a disconcerting, phantasmagorical musical journey.
