Wednesday - Sarah Walker

Sarah Walker presents music by Vivaldi, Beethoven, Sibelius, Ravel and Mendelssohn.

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's Piano Quartet No 1, she is best known as a Bach interpreter of distinction. Today, however, Sarah plays recordings of repertoire with which Hewitt is perhaps not so readily identified but which similarly showcases her pianistic prowess: Ravel's Pavane pour une infante defunte and Beethoven's Cello Sonata in C with cellist Daniel Muller-Schott.
