The young, imaginative pianist Florian Verweij presents a personal programme of works that currently make his heart race. Via works by Schumann, Debussy and Rachmaninov he takes us to the mysterious Grande Sonata by Tchaikovsky. This monumental and rarely heard composition flowed from the composer's pen in fits and starts. Expect an almost orchestral masterpiece full of compelling melodies, from intimately melancholic reveries to deeply dramatic episodes. Under the hands of Florian Verweij, the sound worlds of these composers appear to spontaneously rise from the stage.
