A “magician with sound” praised for his “mesmerising colours, erupting into shivery cascades and subterranean rumbles” (The Times), distinguished French pianist François-Frédéric Guy will give a solo recital to remember at Yuen Long Theatre Auditorium. Starting with the deeply contemplative Bénédiction de Dieu dans la Solitude from Liszt’s Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses, Guy will showcase some of Chopin’s best works including four of his most beloved and mesmerising Nocturnes, before concluding the evening with an authoritative rendition of Beethoven’s crystalline Piano Sonata No 31 in A-flat.
