PIANO RECITAL FRANCESCO PIEMONTESI

Originally from Switzerland, now living in Berlin, Francesco Piemontesi has appeared at the Dresdner Musikfestspiele several times and enjoys a close musical connection with the city. Now the artist, acclaimed by critics worldwide as one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation, will appear at the Palais im Großen Garten, offering a sampling of his technically brilliant and musically sensitive playing. His recital combines Beethoven’s »Waldstein Sonata« Op. 53, his Sonata No. 30 Op. 109, and Debussy’s second volume of the »Préludes« - all of them seminal works of the piano literature. These preludes are among the foremost examples of impressionist music by the French composer, who created individual images of unique colorfulness, melodious and rhythmical atmosphere.
