Leslie Dala: Romance to Radiohead
ABOUT THE SHOW
Always popular with audiences, Leslie Dala intimately narrates from the piano how the works of the greatest composers of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries have personally inspired him.
Romance to Radiohead features music by Clara Schumann (3 Romances, Op.11), Franz Liszt (Petrarch Sonnets and Rigoletto Fantasy), a selection of Radiohead songs (transcribed by Christopher O’Riley) and the solo piano version of Gershwin’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue.
Spanning music over a period of almost 200 years, the music is linked and inspired by the virtuosic piano writing of the early 19th century composer/ performers like Clara Schumann and Liszt. The jazz idiom of George Gershwin and the alternative rock idiom of Radiohead are cleverly infused by Leslie on this “classical” foundation.
