Chopin’s Best Works

Chopin favourites by Candlelight, a recital for solo piano by Aldo Dotto. These concerts are “a series of classical music concerts aimed at democratising access to classical music by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live candlelit music performances … by creating intimate experiences where fans can connect directly with their favourite artists”. The specific plus is illumination by thousands of candles, with a programme that does indeed look quite inviting (even if “best” does set the bar rather high):

• Nocturnes op.9 n.2
• Nocturne in C sharp minor
• Polonaise op.44
• Prelude op.28 n.4
• Prelude op.28 n.15 ‘Raindrop’
• Fantaisie-Impromptu op.66
• Valse op.64 n.2
• Valse op.69 n.1
• Scherzo op.31 n.2

There are performances at 7.30pm and 9.30pm.
