Soirée Schubert – Francesco Piemontesi
Top of Switzerland
Chamber Music
Monday, 26 August 2019
7.30 pm, Rougemont Church
After the last sonatas in 2016, Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi pursues his exploration of Schubert’s universe, beneath the same history-laden arches of the Rougemont church, with the Sonata No. 17 – filled with joyfulness and energy, possibly virtues of the baths he was taking that summer 1825 in Bad Gastein? – and the first cycle of Impromptus, which opens with a page strongly reminiscent of popular song.
