Carte Blanche Concert IV: Gilles Vonsattel, piano
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Stent Family Hall, Menlo School
(see times)
Praised by the New York Times as “a pianist well worth watching,†Gilles Vonsattel follows his 2013 festival debut with a recital program centered on themes of nationalism and revolution. The program begins with two groundbreaking works by Beethoven: Six Bagatelles and the Moonlight Sonata. Liszt’s Funérailles, written in memory of the crushing of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, signals the awakening of a new national voice. JanáÄek’s Sonata 1.X.1905 is of a similar elegiac nature, mourning the death of a slain Czech protester. The program concludes with Saint-Saëns’s exotic Africa fantasy and Frederic Rzewski’s Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, based on a workers’ song from the Industrial Revolution.
