Debussy Preludes by Candelight - Daniel Grimwood

St Mary le Strand (The Jewel of the Strand) plays host to the third Strand International Piano Series, further to its launch to great acclaim in the 2022-23 season.

The theme of this year's series will be Debussy's Preludes. Composed between 1909 and 1913, these are testament to Debussy's innovative approach to piano music and his mastery of impressionistic techniques. The two books of preludes, each containing twelve pieces, showcase Debussy's ability to evoke vivid imagery, moods, and atmospheres through music.

Featuring
Daniel Grimwood

Programme
Debussy - 2 Preludes from Book 1, Nos 6 and 8
Widor - Carnaval

Daniel Grimwood is best known as a world-leading exponent of 19thcentury virtuosic piano repertoire. Received with critical acclaim, Grimwood’s recordings and performances of the music of Adolph von Henselt ensure his international reputation as a groundbreaking, inspirational musician, marking him out as a unique voice amongst his generation of pianists. His recording of Henselt's Complete Etudes garnered instant classic status by Gramophone Magazine, which also named it piano release of 2023.

With an astonishing range of music within his repertoire, Daniel’s superlative level of pianism means that he is equally at home performing the music of J.S. Bach, as he is of Rubinstein or Liszt.
