Hi everyone!
Just thought I would pass on the message that I will be on CBC Radio One Saskatchewan this Saturday at 7pm ET. It can also be listened to live on the web during the broadcast. For the live web stream, you can go to http://www.cbc.ca/sask/features/bestseat and click on ‘Listen Live’ on the right side of the screen. Then choose “Radio One”.
The program will feature the first movement of the Appasionata (Beethoven), along with an Intermezzo by a Mexican comoser (Ponce), and other works! So don’t forget to tune in. The producers would be delighted if you happen to catch the program online from another country, so figure out what time it will air for you, and let me know if you heard it!
Anyone who dares to play Beethoven's last Piano Sonata Opus 111 must be fearless and confident in his skills. In the case of Thomas Yu, both are true...[He] plays the piece with elegance and depth...and his interpretation was the highlight of the festival day.
