Synopsis Peter Donohoe is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest living British pianists. The ever popular British pianist Peter Donohoe first shot to fame in 1982 when he was a prizewinner at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, and is noted for his performances of Liszt. His programme centres on the composer's entrancing evocations of Swiss landscape and legends from the Ann?es de P?l?rinage. This is complemented by a set of late pieces by Brahms, plus two powerfully influential composers, Bart?k and Debussy, both of whom Liszt's music anticipates. ?Donohoe's performance again revealed his affinity for Liszt's music. He brought these tone poems for piano vividly to life. From the opening sombre reminiscence of the hero William Tell to the quietly tolling bells of Geneva's churches, the listener became a fellow traveller on Liszt's journey' (Birmingham Post).
