Accordion recital by Ryan Corbett with works by Bach, César Franck and Rachmaninov alongside original works for the classical accordion.
Ryan Corbett brings an accordion recital to Christ Church on Saturday 9 January, part of the Swindon Recital Series. It's a solo night, and the programme pulls from a few different worlds: Bach, César Franck and Rachmaninov sit alongside original works written for the classical accordion, so you'll hear the instrument handling the big names of the classical canon as well as pieces composed specifically for it.
Corbett is one of Classic FM's 'Rising Stars' and was highlighted as 'one to watch' by BBC Music Magazine. He was also chosen by HM King Charles III to play at the King's Scottish Coronation, so he's not exactly a newcomer to the big stage. His playing has been described as having a sound world perfectly suited to the big screen, which gives you a fair idea of the kind of cinematic, atmospheric territory he works in.
