Hailed by the Guardian as ‘a pianist who has [always] put the music before technique’, Imogen Cooper offers a programme shot through with poetic
nuance. She opens with three folksong-inspired miniatures from Janácˇ ek’s On an Overgrown Path, moves through the striking emotional contrasts of
Schumann’s Davidsbündlertänze, and closes with Albéniz’s virtuoso evocations of Spain.
