This intimate and atmospheric concert offers a rare chance to hear some of the most compelling and expressive works in the late-Romantic piano repertoire. Acclaimed concert pianist Martin Cousin takes centre stage with a programme that showcases the brilliance and emotional depth of Sergei Rachmaninov. The evening features a selection of the composer’s celebrated Preludes Op. 23—a set rich in colour, contrast, and poetic intensity—culminating in the masterful Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op. 42, one of Rachmaninov’s most sophisticated and imaginative creations. Adding a delightful touch of virtuosity and charm, Cousin also performs Rachmaninov’s electrifying arrangement of Mussorgsky’s Gopak from Sorochinsky Fair, a vibrant and folk-infused showpiece that brings the programme to a spirited close. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast of Romantic piano music or discovering these works for the first time, this candlelit concert promises an immersive and unforgettable musical experience in one of London’s most inspiring venues.
