Javier Perianes

##### Masterpieces of musical evocation and imagination. A musical odyssey across daring harmonies, restless beauty and exotic landscapes, with Spain's leading pianist, Javier Perianes. For this tour, Perianes brings the first part of an ambitious five-year solo recording and performance project with Schubert at its centre. Schubert's monumental _Wanderer Fantasy_ is the spiritual heart of these performances, performed with the profound and elusive late _Klavierstücke_. In dialogue with Schubert, two masterpieces of musical evocation and imagination. Debussy's _Préludes_ conjure vivid scenes and fleeting impressions, while Albéniz invokes colourful memories of Spain in his legendary final work, _Iberia_. And at the crossroads of the journey, Australian composer Elizabeth Younan, inspired by the music of 19th-century Vienna, writes for a Spanish pianist, weaving together the there and here and now and then. **Reviews** ‘His demeanour and technique … radiate calm, yet the precision and speed of his fingerwork can be quite shattering. Seldom, if ever, have I encountered such a combination of evident modesty and utter brilliance.’ — _Sunday Times_
