Last week pianist Marc-André Hamelin tackled a Dvorak piano quintet and three performances of John Adams’s Grand Pianola Music – all at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Now he gets to quiet things down a bit by performing a solo recital on Tuesday at the Reneé and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa.
On the program for this recital are:
Chaccone by Bach (arranged by Busoni)
Fantasie in C Major by Schumann
Six Songs by Trenet (arranged by Weissenberg)
Cypresses by Castelnuovo-Tedesco
Polonaise-Fantasie by Chopin
Scherzo No. 4 by Chopin.
Of course, there will be the inevitable encore, but we don’t know what that might be. Whatever, it will certainly make just a little bit longer a very enjoyable evening of solo classical piano.
