James Lisney's 'A Musical Offering' at St George's Bristol

Pianist James Lisney makes a welcome return to St George’s Bristol this autumn in a concert entitled ‘A Musical Offering’. His programme is centred around Beethoven’s last three sonatas, one of music’s great spiritual journeys, written when the composer was turning fifty years old and occupied with the Missa Solemnis. This transcendent, dramatic, lyrical and ultimately communicative music is interspersed with complementary preludes by Chopin and Shostakovich, together with music by Bach, including Myra Hess’s radiant transcription of Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, the perfect way to mark her passing sixty years ago on 25th November.
