One of today’s brightest piano stars shines in music that overflows with character and colour, culminating in the fairground thrills of Stravinsky’s Petrushka. Behzod Abduraimov offers a recital that shows off the piano’s magnificent potential for colour, range and virtuosity. He begins with Brahms’ final set of piano pieces, Op.119, introspective, humorous and rugged by turns, followed by Liszt’s Après un lecture de Dante and Debussy’s Suite bergamasque.
Opera Settecento and their director, Leo Duarte, return to the London Handel Festival for a modern-day London premiere of Handel's abandoned opera Titus L'Empéreur. The incomplete libretto, modelled on Racine's tragedy Berenice, has been adapted to the conventions of opera seria to produce a text that Handel himself would no doubt have been eager to set. Opera Settecento is joined by an outstanding line-up of soloists.
