BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Pianist Mao Fujita at the Edinburgh International Festival

A solo piano recital featuring the music of Mozart and Liszt.

From the Edinburgh International Festival 2023, pianist Mao Fujita performs works by Liszt and Mozart.

Japanese pianist Mao Fujita performs music of fantasy and spectacle from the Queen’s Hall.  

Robert Schumann was the dedicatee of Liszt’s Piano Sonata in B minor, yet Clara Schumann, a famed pianist in her own right, described this tempestuous and at times fantastical work as a ‘sheer racket’.  To start, two companion pieces by Mozart, a Fantasia and Sonata in C minor, both dedicated to one of his piano pupils ‘Frau von Trattner’.  

Mozart: Fantasia in C minor K.475
Mozart: Sonata in C minor K.457
Liszt: Piano sonata in B minor s.178
