Understated Virtuosity from Alasdair Beatson at the Wigmore Hall

Capriccio, 8th May

In a way, this was a virtuoso programme, but Alasdair Beatson is not a pianist inclined to indulge in vapid displays of skill and empty gesturing. Rather, this was a set of slightly unobvious works where the music was very much the point, not the performer.We opened with Mozart's Piano sonata in F K332.
