Ralph van Raat piano
Maarten van Veen piano
After his masterful recital of Jonathan Harvey's solo piano pieces at hcmf// 2009, Dutch virtuoso Ralph van Raat turns his interpretive skills to the keyboard work of the Finnish composer. The stark serialism of 1970s works such as Music For 2 Pianos and Klavierstück gives way to a more vibrant, dramatic sensibility in work from this decade, with nods to Debussy and Messiaen and even touches of Romantic composers such as Chopin and Rachmaninov.
