Monday - Sarah Walker

Sarah Walker presents music by Sullivan, Chabrier, Sibelius, Herrmann and Schubert.

To tie in with Angela Hewitt's appearance at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms this Friday, Sarah Walker explores the distinguished career of this Canadian-born pianist. Although at the Proms Hewitt will join other musicians to perform Brahms' Piano Quartet No 1, she is best known as a Bach interpreter of distinction. Sarah honours this enduring association with three Bach recordings of the Keyboard Concerto No 7, the French Suite No 6 and a selection from the Well-Tempered Clavier. Alongside these Sarah plays recordings of repertoire with which Hewitt is perhaps not so readily identified but which similarly showcases her pianistic prowess: Chopin's Nocturne, Chabrier's Impromptu, Ravel's Sonatine and Beethoven's Piano Sonata in C minor, Op 13, otherwise known as his Pathetique.
