Music in the Round - Tim Horton (piano)

Tim Horton continues his exploration of Chopin’s central place within the history of the piano. Looking back, Mozart’s improvisational Fantasy in C minor is dramatic in quality and dark in tone. Looking forward, Szymanowski’s dream-like Masques is colourful, hypnotic and capricious. Taking centre stage, Chopin’s innovative four Ballades share noble melodies and dance-like quality to explore the varied colours of the piano.
