Jonathan Powell plays Bax's one-movement First Piano Sonata (alas cruelly divided here because of YouTube's 10 minute rule - part II isof course also on this channel). Bax wrote this passionate sonata in 1910 (revised 1921) in memory of his abortive love affair with the Ukrainian Natalia Karginska. From the 2009 'Indian Summer in Levoca' Festival.
Thanks for this performance !

Fantasic music, Bax is the greatest British composer from any period- good to see the piece memorized and played with such commitment and awareness of its value
