BEETHOVEN Piano Sonata No. 15 op. 28 Pastoral
BACEWICZ Piano Sonata No. 2
RAVEL Le Tombeau de Couperin
RAVEL Pavane pour une enfante d?funte
Praised as "a rising star of exceptional sensitivity and imagination" Vietnamese pianist Khanh-Nhi Young won Third Prize at Leeds in 2024. Her programme opens with Beethoven's calm, nature-inspired 'Pastorale' sonata before leaping headlong into Bacewicz's lyrical and barbaric Piano Sonata No. 2, composed in 1953 at the height of Stalinist regional censorship. In the second half, Ravels' Le Tombeau de Couperin Suite is a touching, witty and nostalgic memorial to friends and family who died fighting in World War I, ending with his Pavanne pour une enfante d?funte, which expresses a longing for a long lost world of little princesses. Ravel despised its overnight popularity that made him famous.
