Bach and Shostakovich concerts
PIANIST Gusztáv Feny? is to perform a series of concerts in Glasgow.
J S Bach’s ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier’ and Shostakovich’s 24 Preludes and Fugues will be performed side-by-side in the series taking place at Glasgow’s City Halls from 21 March.
The first part of each concert will be devoted to Bach, the second to Shostakovich.
The inspiration for this arrangement is Shostakovich, whose own cycle was created on hearing the playing of Bach Preludes and Fugues by the Russian pianist Tatiana Nikolayeva at the first Leipzig Bach competition in 1950.
Gusztáv Feny? gave the first Glasgow performance of the complete Shostakovich cycle in 2006 and has performed the two books of “The Well-Tempered Clavier” on several occasions in recent years.
His earlier cycles of Beethoven, Chopin and Bartók have been highly praised.
