BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Jonathan Plowright plays Bach, Grieg and Liszt

Pianist Jonathan Plowright plays Bach, Grieg and Liszt, live from London's Wigmore Hall.

Live from London's Wigmore Hall, pianist Jonathan Plowright plays Bach-Busoni's Chaconne in D minor, Liszt's Consolations and Grieg's Holberg Suite.

Much-praised British pianist Jonathan Plowright opens his recital with Busoni’s formidable version of Bach’s D minor Chaconne, perhaps the most celebrated of all the arrangements of Bach's magnificent piece. The Liszt of the Consolations shows an introspective side of the composer and Grieg's Holberg Suite, his affectionate nod to Baroque dance music, ends the concert on an upbeat note.

Introduced live from Wigmore Hall by Martin Handley.

Bach-Busoni: Chaconne in D minor
