Stephen Hough Concert

About

Sir Stephen Hough brought his trademark eloquence and precision to a recital filled with music by composers close to his heart. From the mysterious and mystical realms of Mompou and Scriabin to the evocative imagery of Debussy and Hough's own Partita, Hough leaves a stamp on all of this repertoire. His recital closed with a suite of pieces selected from the second volume of Liszt's Années de pèlerinage--the famous Petrarch sonnets as well as the astounding "Dante Sonata." The Library has several works by Mompou in its collections, and an original song manuscript that is a darker revision of one of Liszt's most beloved songs and piano transcriptions, the Sonetto 104 del Petrarca. Hough performed his recital at St. Mark's Episcopal Church while the Coolidge Auditorium was closed for repairs in spring 2023. This video includes excerpts from the program, the three movements of Claude Debussy's Estampes. Program: [0:25] Claude Debussy: Estampes: I. Pagodes; [5:29] Claude Debussy: Estampes: II. La soirée dans Grenade; [10:23] Claude Debussy: Estampes: III. Jardins sous la pluie
