This recital is promoted by the charity PROMOTE OUR PIANISTS (POP) working together with KETTNER CONCERTS to offer live performances to outstanding young pianists. BEETHOVEN Piano Sonata No. 15 op. 28 Pastoral BACEWICZ Piano Sonata No. 2 RAVEL Le Tombeau de Couperin RAVEL Pavane pour une enfante défunte Praised as "a rising star of exceptional sensitivity and imagination" Vietnamese pianist Khanh-Nhi Luong won Third Prize at Leeds in 2024. Her programme opens with Beethoven's calm, nature-inspired 'Pastorale' sonata before leaping headlong into Bacewicz's lyrical and barbaric Piano Sonata No. 2, composed in 1953 at the height of Stalinist regional censorship. In the second half, Ravels' Le Tombeau de Couperin Suite is a touching, witty and nostalgic memorial to friends and family who died fighting in World War I, ending with his Pavanne pour une enfante défunte, which expresses a longing for a long lost world of little princesses. Ravel despised its overnight popularity that made him famous.
