Sprotbrough Music Society

Hiroaki Takenouchi (piano)

A welcome return visit to Sprotbrough for this outstanding pianist who last gave a solo recital for the Society in 2016 and before that appeared with Simon Callaghan as The Parnassius Duo in 2013. A prolific recording artist he has recorded Haydn sonatas, contemporary Japanese music, world premiere recordings of contemporary works by James Dillon, Edwin Roxburgh and piano arrangements of Fredrick Delius. He has appeared regularly on Radio 3 and famously for BBC4 in The Prince and the Composer celebrating Hubert Parry, that Prince now being our present King! Gramophone magazine refers to his “impeccable pianism and unfailing idiomatic grasp.” Those qualities will be in evidence during this concert in music by Haydn – his variations in F minor, sonatas by Beethoven and Schubert and more recent music by Medtner and Dorothy Howell.
