Chopin and Bach / Hayato Sumino’s piano recital

Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 18:00

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)

Hayato Sumino (Piano)

Bach and Chopin. Two worlds, two geniuses, two points of reference for the tradition of the keyboard. The former is the essence of spirituality, the musical structure and the richness of the baroque world. The latter symbolises musical romanticism. Chopin scholars emphasise the fact that he renewed Bach’s mastery of counterpoint and finesse of ornament, using them as foundations upon which he built a musical world of his own, still much beloved everywhere around the world. Their music serves as the basis for a fantasy of one’s own, and as material to be reworked, for artists for whom playing others’ music is not enough. The twenty-nine-year-old Japanese pianist Hayato Sumino follows in the footsteps of the wonderful eccentric, Friedricha Gulda, whose scandalising improvisations opened secret passages between classical music and jazz. On the sidelines, they are supported by the ghost of Maurice Ravel, who defined the concept of stylisation for the 20th century. In this concert’s programme, you can hear the neverending expansion of the musical universe. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration (intermission included): approximately 100 minutes
