A series of four illustrated talks by Edward Sackville-West
In each of these talks Edward Sackville-West will consider the characteristic style of a particular pianist, his approach to his repertoire, and his interpretation of the great works in it.
The three other pianists to be considered are Myra Hess (January 12), Schnabel (January 19), and Rosenthal (January 28).
