Young pianist Rémi Geniet will perform a recital of works by his favourite composers: Scarlatti, Beethoven, Ravel and Prokofiev.

Awarded second prize at the 2013 Queen Elisabeth International Competition of Belgium at the age of 20 , the former prodigy studying under Brigitte Engerer at the Conservatoire de Paris and Rena Shereshvskaya at the Ecole Normale de Musique Alfred Cortot has, since 2013, established himself as one of the most brilliant pianists of his generation. Rémi Geniet, modest and introspective, has received rave reviews from the international press for his “instrumentally intimidating, intellectually impressive and musically poignant” style (Diapason). Being particularly at ease in the Baroque repertoire, which he sculpts with his fingertips like a goldsmith, Mr Geniet also displays great command of the Romantic repertoire, such as with Beethoven’s majestic Piano Sonata No. 28 in A Major, Op. 101, and in tender, yet sharp pianism, as displayed in Prokofiev’s Sonata No 4, one of the Soviet composer’s most formidable.
