America – Rhapsody in Blue
Recital Sebastian Knauer
Chamber Music
Friday, 18 August 2017
7.30 pm, Lauenen Church
He is a regular at the Menuhin Festival. Following his beautiful homage to Wilhelm Kempff in 2015, Sebastian Knauer is back to invite us to a colorful and rhythmic journey between France and America, encounters with the most jazzy of classical composers… unclassifiable in a manner, if one thinks, for example, of Erik Satie and his famous Gymnopédies or Gnossiennes!
