Hong Kong City Hall, Central｜Piano Duo Recital By Kent Fu and Stephen Hung

Description

The concept of music for two pianos can be traced to different traditions, including the polychoral works of St Mark’s Basilica in Renaissance Venice, the concerto grosso made popular by Vivaldi also in Venice, and the piano concerto from the Classical period onwards. All of these traditions play on the excitement created by the opposition and contrast between distinct groups of instruments or voices. While our concert takes examples from each of the 3 traditions, the programme also offers a new angle to look at 2-piano music through the world premiere of Angus Lee’s Paramorphologia.

Programme includes: 

Bach - Cantata No.25 (opening chorus), 2 Double Keyboard Concertos (BWV 1061, 1062); Mozart/Busoni - Duettino Concertante (K. 459); Medtner - Two Pieces, Op. 58; 

Chopin - Rondo, Op.73; Angus Lee - Paramorphologia (world premiere)
