“The Past and Evocation” is a piano narrative about the vitality of musical memory and its ability to evolve. Here, the past is not a static reference to lost time: it comes alive through stylistic elements from different eras, takes on new meanings and becomes a source of creative inspiration.
From the Romantic sensitivity of Čiurlionis and Fauré to Ravel’s retrospective perspective, Widmann’s playful historical distance and Schumann’s kaleidoscopic imagination, the programme reveals how memory, transformation and imagination intertwine in piano music.
