Pianist Plamena Mangova has enjoyed a wide international career since winning second prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2007. Her recital programme includes Brahms’ monumental third piano sonata. A review of her performance of the same work at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Paris, stated: “It is rare to feel a true emotional shock when listening to an artist… Admirable technique, marvellous balance and perfect reading of the polyphony even in the more dense passages…The public were aware of being presence at a recital of a great musician.”
This programme runs approximately 90 minutes including one intermission.
