Alexandre Tharaud - Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt

Alexandre Tharaud gives a piano recital at the Wigmore Hall, London. With sonatas by Scarlatti, Chopin's Piano sonata No 2, Op 35 and Liszt's Funerailles.

Live from Wigmore Hall.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Domenico Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas are characterised by their sheer breadth of invention, the cosmopolitan composer picking up influences from all directions in the 18th century. Alexandre Tharaud showcases a selection of his favourites, alongside an elegy by Liszt for the failed Hungarian uprising in 1848. Chopin's epic second sonata completes the programme, its famous Funeral march movement probably also reflecting the nationalistic feeling of his compatriots in Poland.
