SUMMARY:Piano Greats – Jeneba Kanneh-Mason plays Bach\, Chopin and Debussy
DESCRIPTION:Reflective. Serene. A perfectly balanced afternoon.\nWho’s on stage\nJeneba Kanneh-Mason\, one of the seven Kanneh-Mason siblings who’ve wowed the world with their musical talents. \nWhat they’re playing\nEnjoy music that’s like an old friend\, like Bach’s Partita\, alongside new discoveries including William Grant Still’s beautiful\, hazy\, Summerland. \nWhat you’ll hear\n\nJohann Sebastian Bach Partita No. 5 (15’)\nLudwig van Beethoven Sonata No. 17 (25’)\nFrédéric Chopin Nocturne No. 7 (5’)\nFrédéric Chopin Nocturne No. 8 (6’)\nWilliam Grant Still Summerland (5’)\nClaude Debussy Prèlude Book 1:  La fille aux cheveux de lin (3’)\nClaude Debussy Prèlude Book 2: Bruyères (3’)\nFlorence Price Fantasie Nègre No. 1 (10’) \nWho’s playing it\n\nJeneba Kanneh-Mason piano \n\nWhat’s happening in the music?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBach’s Partita No.5 is a torrent of gorgeous melody right from the off\, William Grant Still’s nostalgic Summerland takes the afternoon to a moment of reflection\, while Florence Price’s Fantasie Negre both chills and swells the heart\, its blues-inflected harmonies based on the spiritual Sinner Please Don’t Let This Harvest Pass. \n \nA Spiritual Transformed\n\nThat spiritual has been sung by countless singers and musicians. In today’s concert it’s adapted by composer Florence Price\, the first black woman to have composition premiered by a major American orchestra. In this video you’ll hear soprano Yolanda Rhodes sing the spiritual before the pianists take over with Florence Price’s version of it –  described by WQXR’s (a US radio station) James Bennet as ‘at times melancholy\, at others turbulent\, but always heartbreakingly beautiful.’
