Alexandre Tharaud
Live concert from London's Wigmore Hall, celebrated French pianist Alexandre Tharaud performs Debussy and Schubert in his own transctiptions. Presented by Martin Handley.
Parisian pianist Alexandre Tharaud is known for his ingenious programmes as much as for his technical brilliance. Today he performs two of his own transcriptions: of the Debussy Pr茅lude, he has written, 鈥業t鈥檚 a slow, sweeping piece for which I have added some depth to the piano texture, to maintain the tension. The centre of the movement is a tremendous moment that somehow has to be conveyed with two hands, which calls for an element of virtuosity鈥�. Tharaud's Schubert transcription is of four excerpts from the stage music for Rosamunde & the concert opens with his four Impromptus, D899, in their original form.
