Petr Limonov: Piano
Michal Rogalski: Oboe
Oboist Michal Rogalski and pianist Petr Limonov engage in an artistic dialogue that explores the diverse worlds of Debussy, Schumann, Rachmaninov and Britten in a water-themed recital.
Britten: Pan
Schumann: I Romance (Nicht schnell)
Britten: Phaeton
Schumann: II Romance (Einfach, innig)
Britten: Narcissus
Schumann: III Romance (Nicht schnell)
Britten: Arethusa
Rachmaninov: Etude-Tableau in A minor, Op.39 No.2
Debussy: Images, Book 1, Reflets dans l’eau
Debussy: L’isle Joyeuse
At a time when many of us have been reflecting on our lives and on meaning within them, these composers' meditations on water, the element most essential to life are timely and refreshing. This recital will be perfect for the intimate setting of Lancaster Priory.
Petr Limonov is one of the finest pianists and musicians I have had the honour of playing with and hearing. His profound sensitivity is extremely rare, his musical intelligence is of the highest degree and his pianistic power is formidable. Petr is one of the most enlightened musical souls I have come across.
