“The piano is just an instrument through which I can give something to other people,” says Alexandre Tharaud. Thanks to this approach as well as his supple, calm but at the same time intense way of music-making, the French pianist has played his way to the top. In his wide-ranging repertoire, the music of France from the Baroque to the Modern plays a central role. In our concert, works by Rameau and Ravel will form the framework of the programme. In between, we will hear Grieg’s Lyric Pieces and Tharaud’s own transcription of the dreamlike Adagietto from Mahler’s Fifth Symphony.
