Version for Piano
Many composers in history have found inspiration in the fragile and mysterious world of plants and flowers. For his solo recital, Kirill Gerstein presents a diverse selection of piano works from three centuries by com posers ranging from Robert Schumann to Thomas Adès. Percy Grainger’s paraphrase of Tchaikovsky’s famous “Waltz of the Flowers” provides the link to Maurice Ravel’s La Valse and the Waltzes Toward Civilization by the young Spanish composer Francisco Coll.
