Tempo Rubato: Berta Brozgul|Sonata no.2:Schumann Chopin Granados Prokofiev

A program featuring the second piano sonatas of Frédéric Chopin and Sergei Prokofiev, each of which are characterised by drama and pathos, lightness and darkness, and brutality and playfulness. They are presented alongside Enrique Granados’ virtuosic showpiece Allegro di Concierto and Robert Schumann’s beguiling Arabesque in C major.
