CHRISTOPHER Langdown gave a piano recital for the latest in the "Live at the Library" series.
The artiste introduced each item, and his programme comprised the Deux Arabesques and preludes by Debussy, which actually had the title written after each prelude, as the composer wanted people to interpret the music for themselves.
Next came music by Ravel, Menuet Antique, which was the composer's earliest published work and Sonatine, originally written for a competition.
The audience heard Dramatica Fantasia by Frank Bridge, which was written in 1906 but was lost for many years, only being premiered in 1979.
The programme ended with what many thought was the highlight of the evening, a series of etudes by Scriabin, which were first performance in St Petersburg in 1894. Music by Erik Satie was chosen as an encore.
June Edwards presents Hit or Myth, a programme of recorded music, at Holy Innocents community centre, Kidderminster, at 7.30pm on Friday, October 14.
