DANIEL LEVY – Piano works by Beethoven
MARGA BAIGORRIA - Audiovisual "Venerating Venice" by the artist Marga Baigorria
PART 1: DANIEL LEVY PLAYS BEETHOVEN: Bagatelles & Adagios
This piano recital begins with a selection of beautiful but little-performed Bagatelles, some without opus numbers and some of opus 119 and opus 126. These appear as flashes of light and poetry with moments imbued with energetic and graceful rhythms. Also included are some Adagios from the Piano Sonatas, making the whole a rich fresco of Beethoven’s inventiveness.
