Andrew Yiangou:
Andrew Yiangou’s Le Petit Concert is a view into the musical world of the enigmatic 19th-century composer Charles-Valentin Alkan. The centre piece in the programme is the misleadingly titled 'Sonatina' in A minor, Op.61, actually a large-scale sonata of huge technical challenges, described by Sorabji as ‘vehement, droll, gargoyle-like, childlike and naïve in turn – almost as though Berlioz had written a Beethoven sonata’.
