The works in Clare Hammond’s recital demand a union of exceptional technical skills and deep artistic sensibility, qualities she possesses in abundance. The British pianist’s programme reflects her profound interest in the music of Poland and determination to broaden the keyboard repertoire with new work, present here in the form of the world première of two études by Emma-Ruth Richards, a composer praised by Musical Opinion for the ‘exceptional refinement and subtlety’ of her music.
