Alessio Masi at Steinway Hall, London
Passion and curiosity with poetic mastery
Alessio had flown in from Florence where he is studying with Roberto Prosseda and Alessandra Ammara, and is shortly to continue his studies in the Manhattan School of Music in New York
A programme that was particularly interesting for two rarely performed Italian composers, one from the seventeenth century and the other from the twentieth.
A programme that also included his own transcription of Bach’s ‘Es ist Vollbracht’ from the St John Passion, that acted as an introduction to César Franck’s ‘Prelude, Chorale and Fugue’ and Chopin’s greatest work: the ‘Barcarolle ‘ op 60 .
