Pierre-Laurent Aimard at Aldeburgh

From Snape Maltings as part of the 2017 Aldeburgh Festival, a concert of music for piano given by Pierre-Laurent Aimard. With works by Bach, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin and Bartok.

Tom Redmond presents a concert of music for piano given by Pierre-Laurent Aimard in Snape Maltings at this year's Aldeburgh Festival.

The best mixtapes are never just a succession of repetitive beats but an inspired sequence of moods and sounds. Pierre-Laurent Aimard has similarly finessed his selection of dance music for tonight: from the elegance of Bach to the earthy folk of Bartok, and Chopin's sparkling waltzes to Schubert's sentimental L盲ndler. The urge to express ourselves in space, motion and sound has proved a continuous lure for composers, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard leaps nimbly between centuries, welcoming us all to the dance.
