As an appetizer for today, we listen to Rachmaninov’s Prelude in G minor.

In today’s programme there are another three works. Two major items and then another shorter work to conclude.

The first big work is Rachmaninov’s Variations on a theme of Paganini.
Then we hear Liszt's "Variations on a Theme by Paganini, S. 161" (also known as "Paganini Etudes")

To round out our programme today we have a very famous Etude by Liszt entitled “Un Sospiro”

Don’t miss this virtuosic programme, featuring some of the repertoires most difficult music to perform.
