A truly exceptional pianist of huge nuance, expression and communicative abilities returns to this year’s festival with a recital at Merton College Chapel bookended by Beethoven. Isata Kanneh-Mason plays the composer’s iconic Moonlight and Waldstein sonatas while also bringing us the striking imagery and technical virtuosity of Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit. After that come two works by one of the most imaginative and original composers working today Dobrinka Tabakova, including another moon-themed work – her luminous depiction of a lunar phenomenon from darkness to shine to settled glow, Halo.
