Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Live from the Queen Elizabeth Hall
Peter Donohoe plays Debussy, Liszt, Brahms and Bart贸k.
'Donohoe's performance again revealed his affinity for Liszt's music. He brought these tone poems for piano vividly to life. From the opening sombre reminiscence of the hero William Tell to the quietly tolling bells of Geneva's churches, the listener became a fellow traveller on Liszt's journey' (Birmingham Post).
Peter Donohoe first shot to fame in 1982 when he was a prizewinner at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, and is noted for his performances of Liszt. His programme centres on the composer's evocations of Swiss landscape and legends from the Ann茅es de P猫lerinage. This is complemented by a set of late pieces by Brahms, plus two powerfully influential composers, Bart贸k and Debussy, both of whom Liszt's music anticipates.
