Celebrity Piano Recital: Peter Donohoe

Thu 5 Mar 2009 7:30pm at Town Hall

Peter Donohoe’s performances are a dazzling fusion of passion, virtuosity and intellectual rigour. His recital ranges from the majesty of Bach to the superhuman demands of Liszt’s B minor Sonata. Before that come magical works by Brahms reflecting the mature wisdom of the composer’s old age and the untamed ardour of his youth.

BBC music magazine’s editor, Oliver Condy, explains why he has recommended tonight’s concert:
_“The indefatigable Peter Donohoe launches into a brave programme here – Busoni’s technically astounding transcription of one of Bach’s great organ works sits next to Liszt’s greatest piece for the piano – the colossal Sonata.
