David Greilsammer – piano and prepared piano
21 August 2018
PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF ARTIST AND PROGRAMME
For health reasons, Gabriela Montero is no longer able to appear in this concert. We are grateful to David Greilsammer for agreeing to step in at short notice.
The ever-imaginative Israeli pianist brings together for us two composers who in their own ways were most definitely ‘at the edge’: the baroque keyboard magician that was Domenico Scarlatti, and the 20th-century innovator John Cage, whose brilliantly conceived sonatas for a piano with nuts, bolts and rubbers placed between the strings, create a wondrous new soundworld for the instrument.
