Pianist Elisabeth Brauss at Wigmore Hall

Live from London's Wigmore Hall, pianist Elisabeth Brauss plays sonatas by Scarlatti and Prokofiev alongside Mozart's disturbing Sonata in A minor and Ravel's delicious Sonatine.

Live from London's Wigmore Hall: Elisabeth Brauss plays sonatas spanning two centuries.

A member of Radio 3's prestigious New Generation Artists scheme until the end of last year, the pianist Elisabeth Brauss reveals her wide-ranging musical interests in a programme which begins with some of Scarlatti's sparkling sonatas and ends with Prokofiev's short, but hugely demanding, Third Sonata. In between comes Ravel's radiant Sonatine and Mozart's disturbing Sonata in A minor, written around the time of his mother's death.

Presented by Martin Handley.

D. Scarlatti: Sonata in C minor Kk56, Sonata in C Kk159 'La caccia,' Sonata in B minor Kk27, Sonata in B minor Kk87, Sonata in G Kk427
Mozart: Piano Sonata in A minor K310
Ravel: Sonatine
Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 3 in A minor Op. 28 'From Old Notebooks.'

The German pianist Elisabeth Brauss has been praised for 鈥渢he maturity and sophistication of her thoughtful interpretations鈥 which 鈥渨ould be the pride of any pianist twice her age鈥.

As a member of the 大象传媒 New Generation Artist Scheme, Elisabeth had many solo, chamber and concerto engagements across the UK. In 2021 she made her debut at the 大象传媒 Proms and, in a new partnership between this scheme and the Hall茅 Orchestra, she is the current recipient of the Terence Judd-Hall茅 Award.
