Imogen Cooper
Here In Mayfield!
Imogen Cooper has been delighting audiences for six decades. Bach, Beethoven, and Schubert are her piano’s focus here. Late Beethoven and late Schubert appear alongside arrangements of Bach by 20th-century pianists, as well as an early work by Thomas Adès, England’s greatest living composer.
