Live from London's Wigmore Hall: Elisabeth Brauss plays sonatas spanning two centuries.
A member of Radio 3's prestigious New Generation Artists scheme until the end of last year, the pianist Elisabeth Brauss reveals her wide-ranging musical interests in a programme which begins with some of Scarlatti's sparkling sonatas and ends with Prokofiev's short, but hugely demanding, Third Sonata. In between comes Ravel's radiant Sonatine and Mozart's disturbing Sonata in A minor, written around the time of his mother's death.
Presented by Martin Handley.
D. Scarlatti: Sonata in C minor Kk56, Sonata in C Kk159 'La caccia,' Sonata in B minor Kk27, Sonata in B minor Kk87, Sonata in G Kk427
Mozart: Piano Sonata in A minor K310
Ravel: Sonatine
Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 3 in A minor Op. 28 'From Old Notebooks.'
The German pianist Elisabeth Brauss has been praised for “the maturity and sophistication of her thoughtful interpretations” which “would be the pride of any pianist twice her age”.
As a member of the ѿý New Generation Artist Scheme, Elisabeth had many solo, chamber and concerto engagements across the UK. In 2021 she made her debut at the ѿý Proms and, in a new partnership between this scheme and the Hallé Orchestra, she is the current recipient of the Terence Judd-Hallé Award.
