About This Item
The piano is perhaps better suited than any other instrument to evoke the sound of bells - evening bells, bells of farewell and of joy, funereal bells, bells with spiritual overtones - and late-Romantic and twentieth-century French and Russian composers in particular have responded to the challenge of capturing those sonorities at the keyboard. This recital explores three centuries of pianistic tintinnabulation, and it's ability to capture atmosphere and emotion. In her work, Irmela Roelcke combines concerts with teaching, practicing with reflecting and communicating music. She develops innovative concepts and dramaturgically profiled programs.
