Sir Peter Maxwell Davies (1934-2016) Piano Sonata No. 2 (world première)
Wigmore Hall, London 36 Wigmore St, London W1 United Kingdom 02079352141 http://www.wigmore-hall.org.ukRolf Hind piano Rolf Hind’s recital features the world première of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s Second Piano Sonata, a major new work commissioned by Wigmore Hall from the octogenarian composer.
Hind, an acclaimed pianist-composer, considers impermanence and transcendence in his own work Thus Have I Heard, which recalls the opening lines of Buddhist scriptural texts, reflecting the aural tradition of the Buddha’s teachings.
The programme also includes the keenly awaited UK première of Ten Studies (1984–98) by Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen, who refers to his creation as ‘studies of the piano’s character or soul. A soul that has been created by all the music… written for the instrument, from its childhood until today.’
