Prats romántico

The Chamber Music Cycle of Auditorio de Tenerife presents the concert Prats romántico by the pianist Jorge Luis Prats.

The Cuban pianist Jorge Luis Prats has been defined as a true colossus of the keyboard, taking the combination of mastery and the rigour of the best Russian school with the warmth that is assumed from an artist from the tropics to exceptional levels.

He is recognised as one of the most important pianists of our time. His debut in 2008 at the prestigious “Meister Pianisten” at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, received so many ovations that Prats played the same series again over the following three years, which had only happened previously with the pianists Alfred Brendel and Grigory Sokolov.

Jorge Luis Prats has gone on tours around Europe, Latin America, China, Japan and Korea, playing with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic in London, BBC Symphony, Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Berlin State Opera Orchestra, Wiener Symphoniker, Orchestre de Paris, and with most of the Spanish orchestras: Orquesta Nacional de España, Sinfónica de Galicia, Sinfónica de Castilla y León, Sinfónica de Barcelona, Orquesta de Valencia, Sinfónica de Tenerife, Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, Oviedo Filarmonía, etc.

He will perform a truly beautiful and demanding programme with two of the romantic composers who wrote best for the piano: Robert Schumann (1810-1856) whose Symphonic Studies op.13 will be performed, and Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), with his Preludes op.28.

The performance will conclude with the spectacular transcription for piano solo that Maurice Ravel produced of his orchestral work La Valse. Sensual, grandiose music and a real challenge for the pianist.
