Stephen Kovacevich

Stephen Kovacevich (piano) performs music at the Wigmore Hall, London. Takemitsu: Pause ininterrompue (Uninterrupted Rest). Schubert: Piano Sonata in A , D959.

The distinguished American-born pianist Stephen Kovacevich, who turns 70 later this year, has long had a reputation as a fine player of Schubert. In today's recital he plays Schubert's penultimate piano sonata - filled with song-like melody. Before it he plays music that the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu wrote in the 1950's. Uninterrupted Rest consists of three very short, predominantly gentle pieces, the last of which is called 'Song of Love'.

TAKEMITSU
