PCM1 - Schumann, Elliot Carter, Messiaen, Bartok
Pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard performs in the first Chamber Prom of the 2008 season, from Cadogan Hall, London, with works by Schumann, Elliott Carter, Messiaen and Bartok.
Christopher Cook presents pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard in the first Chamber Prom of the 2008 season, given at Cadogan Hall, London. The recital conjures up themes of the night, with Schumann's Songs of Dawn suggesting the romantic moods of the pre-dawn hours, a theme taken up by Carter's Night Fantasies. Aimard, a leading exponent of Messiaen's piano music, offers a sketch of a night-time bird with his L'alouette lulu, and Bartok's Out of Doors Suite contains its own night music, complete with birds, cicadas and a Hungarian frog.
