Leon McCawley

Debussy at 150

A regular at the BBC Proms, Leon McCawley is an outstanding pianist who performs with many of the leading British orchestras. Following his superb recital here in 2010, he brings this splendid programme to celebrate Debussy's 150th anniversary and explore and illuminate influences on his style.

Pour le piano's neo-baroque form and elegance harks back to Bach's flamboyant Italian Concerto, while the atmospheric 'Bells Through The Leaves' sits alongside bellinspired Liszt and Rachmaninov. Chopin's gorgeously evocative Nocturnes were surely also a source of inspiration. This gorgeous recital concludes with Schumann's thrilling Carnaval, much loved for its wonderful chordal passages and fantastic virtuosity.
