Xenakis produced four mature works for solo piano, three of which feature in this recital: the “symbolic” music of Herma, through the expansive, chaotic Mists, to his brief tribute to Ravel. Prins (external link)’ new work for piano, midi-keyboard and video projection forces a rethink of reality, while Kreidler (external link) fills the hall with multiple transformed instruments and Ablinger (external link)’s transparent lines define their own listening space.
