“The intrepid Canadian soprano has emerged over the last half decade as one of the most vital and original musicians of her generation.”

Known for her grace and emotional range, Chinese pianist Siqian Li tells stories through her virtuosic playing. There are two transcriptions by composers who admired their older masters, with Liszt’s interpretation of Beethoven’s pastoral songs, and Percy Grainger conjuring up the sumptuous sound world of Richard Strauss. Gershwin’s preludes show off his brilliance and variety, from Brazilian and Spanish rhythms to a bluesy lullaby, whilst Russian visionary Alexander Scriabin’s Fantasy depicts moonlight and storms across the sea’s vast expanse. In Liszt’s virtuosic retelling of a Faust legend, the devil takes up the violin, dancing us all into an ecstatic frenzy.

Jeneba Kanneh-Mason is now a regular and much loved visitor to Perth Concert Hall and is developing into one of the most exciting young musicians on the international circuit. She has devised an utterly fantastic programme for us, featuring some of Chopin’s finest music at its core. Added to that is a selection of fabulous Russian music, while the programme opens with 2 of Scarlatti’s 550 sonatas, the touchstone of inventiveness in keyboard music.

“Since Glenn Gould’s visit to Moscow and Van Cliburn’s victory at the Tchaikovsky Competition in the heat of the Cold War, never has a foreign pianist provoked such frenzy.” — The Huffington Post
