Live from Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

Presented by Tom Redmond

Award-winning British pianist and stalwart of the concert platform Peter Donohoe performs music by three of the early 20th Century's greatest figures. He begins with one of Alexander Scriabin's latest masterpieces - his chromatic, and almost atonal Piano Sonata No.7 "White Mass" - composed as a sort of exorcism for the darkness of his previous sonata. Ravel's "Miroirs" was composed around 1905 and dedicated to his five fellow members of the Parisian group of "artistic outcasts" - Les Apaches.
He ends the concert with Rachmaninov's set of 13 Preludes, composed in 1910.
