Obra: Mazurka in F minor, Op.63 no.2

Purcell, Mozart... then a half hour of encores. Grigory Sokolov holds the Concertgebouw spellbound. 

Posé sur une estrade installée dans un des angles du déambulatoire de Silvacane, le grand Steinway de concert attend Iddo Bar-Shaï, habitué du Festival de piano de La Roque-d'Anthéron qui en est à sa 37e édition.

Although nominally a Polish Festival celebrating the music of Frédéric Chopin, there was lots of Tchaikovsky on offer at this year’s event. Leading the foreign charge was the Russian National Orchestra under the direction of their mercurial maestro Mikhail Pletnev.
