Music in the Round Spring Season - Tim Horton (piano)

A cycle of Schubert’s major piano sonatas (concert 3 of 4)

In an interview by 'The Cross-Eyed Pianist, Tim Horton said:-
“The Crucible Studio in Sheffield is one of the best places in which to hear and play music … The experience is particularly intense for performers and listeners and I think that the feeling of ‘them and us’, which is noticeable in many traditional venues, is completely eradicated.”

Tim has assembled a decidedly upbeat trio of pieces for this recital. Schubert’s lyrical and romantic Impromptus preface Ravel’s Noble and Sentimental Waltzes. Schubert’s Sonata in D, inspired by a holiday he took in the Alps, is rare in his later output, being almost entirely positive, naïve and carefree.
