Description:

Peter Donohoe CBE studied at Chethamâ??s School of Music and Leeds University before going on to study at the Royal Northern College of Music with Derek Wyndham and in Paris with Olivier Messiaen and Yvonne Loriod. He is acclaimed as one of the foremost pianists of our time, for his musicianship, stylistic versatility, and commanding technique. He first came across the works of Busoni in the early 1980s and, as he states in his booklet note, â??Busoniâ??s contribution to the musical history of the twentieth century is inestimable, and I feel very much enriched by the several decades of my exposure to it.â?? The programme he has chosen includes three of the pinnacles of Busoniâ??s virtuosic output: The Toccata, BV 287, the seven Elegien, and the Sonatina on Bizetâ??s Carmen, alongside the much earlier Bach transcription of which Peter Donohoe writes: â??The Toccata, in particular, has always struck me as one of the most joyous pieces in the history of instrumental music, and Busoniâ??s transcription certainly brings out that joy.' - ..
