Piano recital “voices without words”

This program offers a musical journey that bridges past and present, spirituality and innovation. It opens with the brilliance and wit of Domenico Scarlatti, whose Baroque sonatas showcase both virtuosity and clarity. The mood shifts to the poetic and introspective with Felix Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words, capturing the elegance of the Romantic era. Joseph Haydn’s Variations in F Minor follow, rich in emotional depth and classical structure. At the heart of the recital lies Sergei Prokofiev’s bold and expressive Sonata No. 4, a work of striking contrasts and modern intensity. The program concludes with two hymns arranged by Robert J. Powell—Coeđa Domini and Llanfair—bringing a solemn and reflective close rooted in tradition. A concert that celebrates the piano’s expressive range across centuries.
