City Recital Hall, Angel Place
Concert 1: Friday 13 June
Shostakovich Preludes & Fugues Op 87, Nos 1-12; Bach Well Tempered Clavier Book 1 BWV 846-857
Concert 2 : Sunday 22 June
Shostakovich Preludes & Fugues Op 87, Nos 13-24; Bach Well Tempered Clavier Book 1 BWV 858-869
This was a truly marvelous evening of music which delivered new perspectives on all the composers featured, something of a rarity in any musical genre. Roger Woodward is returning to this country to give another recital during the Christmas period, possibly of Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier. On the strength of the stupendous playing of the German Master heard here, that should really be something to look forward to. So keep your eyes on the concert listings and make sure to book your seats at the first opportunity.
