Sample Programmes

  • Sample Programme 1 (two pianos): Bach & Shostakovich

    This programme was conceived as a metaphor or a ritual celebrating such mutual illumination. It revives and relives the poignant dialogue between Johann Sebastian Bach and Dmitri Shostakovich through their Preludes and Fugues, a music form that is itself intrinsically dialogic in nature, in a way that has never been done before. Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue in C major Bach: Prelude and Fugue in G minor Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue in D major Bach: Prelude and Fugue in D minor Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue in D minor Bach: Prelude and Fugue in G minor Shostakovich / Bach: Prelude in C sharp minor / Fugue in C sharp minor Bach / Shostakovich: Prelude in E flat major / Fugue in E flat major Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue in G minor Bach: Prelude and Fugue in C major

  • Sample Programme 2 (two pianos): The Swan

    Inspired by the “Cathedral of the Marshes”, a lone thousand years old church of Blythbourgh, Suffolk, this program is a kind of a melancholic rite, a meditation on tender ebb and flow of time. The narratives are deliberately and gently mixed: Rachmaninov’s Barcarolle transpires through Morton Feldman’s enigmatic Work for Two Pianists, and Schubert’s Fantaisie is reflected in Trompe l’oeil, a specially commissioned work by Leonid Desyatnikov that traces and rediscovers the form and the themes of Schubert’s masterpiece. Schubert: Minuet D.600 in C sharp minor Schubert: Sonata D.960: II. Andante sostenuto Schubert: Selected Walzer and Ländler Schubert: Impromptu D935 No.2 in A flat Major Desyatnikov: Trompe-l’œil interval Feldman: Work for Two Pianists Rachmaninov: Barcarolle, from Suite No.1 for two pianos, Op.5 Rachmaninov: Desyatnikov Du côté de chez Swan Rachmaninov: Schubert Fantaisie in F minor, D.940
