Schumann, Kurtag, Takemitsu and Beethoven

Pianist Shai Wosner's series continues with Schumann's Fairy Tales, Kurtag's Hommage to Schumann, Takemitsu and Beethoven's Sonata in D, 'Pastoral'. Introduced by Sarah Walker.

Sarah Walker introduces highlights from a series of recitals given by pianist Shai Wosner - a former Radio 3 New Generation Artist - at Cedars Hall, part of Wells Cathedral School in Somerset. Today fellow musicians taking part in the International Musicians Seminar, Prussia Cove join him in Schumann's evocative Fairy Tales and the contemporary Hungarian composer Gy枚rgy Kurt谩g's Hommage to Robert Schumann, a set of six miniatures that reflect back to Schumann. They're followed by two solo piano pieces, an atmospheric short piece by the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu, and Beethoven's much loved sonata for piano, the Pastoral.
