ASHLEY WASS piano

Director of Music at Yehudi Menuhin School, British pianist Ashley Wass presents a recital which traverses the centuries. From the intimacy of J.S. Bach to the sublime spiritualism of Beethoven’s late piano sonatas, the programme also includes Alexey Shor’s Piano Sonata which is expertly crafted, highly communicative and deeply moving. This recital concludes with Shostakovich’s towering monument of 20th Century piano music, his Prelude and Fugue No. 24 in D minor.

L. van Beethoven Sonata in E major, Op. 109

J.S. Bach Partita No. 1 in B flat major
