2018/2019 piano recitals

JAN BARTOŠ

One of the most prominent pianists of the current lead generation, Jan Bartoš – the last student of Ivan Moravec – is characterised by a combination of virtuoso technique and “deep, meditative musicianship”, which he has developed under the guidance of the living legend of Alfred Brendel.

“The works I have chosen for this recital are to me the most profound that music has ever seen. All three compositions have many points in common – they were written at the same time, between 1822 and 1823, and they all reflect death in some way. Whereas Schubert’s Sonata in A minor is a tragic work permeated with fear and anxiety, Beethoven’s Bagatelles and Sonata find peace and reconciliation. I was always fascinated by the duality of Beethoven’s late works – the connection to this world woven with the vision other dimensions, of infinity, eternity. If music can provide a mystical experience, the last of Beethoven’s compositions bring us the closest to it.”

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN 

Sonata No. 32 in C minor op. 111

The largest European instrument maker and a traditional producer of master-class concert pianos with a distinctive European sound – since 1853

C. Bechstein organised an extraordinary two-year cycle of Beethoven’s piano sonatas at the St Agnes Convent in Prague. Performing on the D 282 concert grand piano, the charismatic virtuoso Saleem Ashkar rendered all 32 of the maestro’s sonatas – rightly termed The New Testament of Music – during eight evenings in two concert seasons from 2016–18. His precise yet heartfelt performance won him the audience’s respect. The complete set of sonatas was also recorded for the prestigious label Decca.

​

Influencers of Resonance is a new 2018/19 cycle that loosely follows on the series and introduces four prominent figures of the contemporary Czech piano scene.
