Performer: Angela Cheng

On his current Australian tour, the indefatigable Pinchas Zukerman seems to cherish playing a different programme in every venue. He appeared with his own chamber ensemble, the Zukerman Trio in Sydney, partnered with two Canadian musicians, Amanda Forsyth (cello), and Angela Cheng (piano).

Angela Cheng’s recital featured a potentially intimidating quartet of sonatas by the Viennese masters, but under her hands the music was anything but intimidating.
