Domonkos brings both poise and passion to his playing, along with a constant flow of lively musical ideas. Following the Haydn, Domonkos ‘goes large’ for the remainder of his programme. The intensely chromatic Bach theme is given a progressively more orchestral treatment, culminating in a torrent of notes. Ravel’s orchestral ballet score La Valse was transcribed by the composer for both one and two pianos, and there are probably as many notes for one pianist as there are for two! Far more than a piano reduction, it will make a spectacularly exciting end to this recital.
