Isata Kanneh-Mason: Beethoven Piano Sonatas

The dazzling brilliance of Beethoven’s Waldstein Sonata contrasts with the introspection of the Moonlight Sonata in this eclectic recital.

Power, delicacy, astounding technique and emotional maturity are hallmarks of pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, who plays two of Beethoven’s most popular works in this concert, alongside Ravel’s ferocious and passionate Gaspard de la nuit and music by Dobrinka Tabakova, including Halo, a journey from darkness to blinding sunshine.
