Charlotte Hu, pianoRaquel González, soprano
Pauline Viardot was an accomplished pianist, a world-renowned mezzo-soprano, and a talented composer who studied with Franz Liszt, yet Viardot’s name is largely unknown today. In their dual recital, pianist Charlotte Hu and soprano Raquel González re-introduce Viardot to her rightful place alongside the greatest of Romantic composers, notably her friend and colleague Frédéric Chopin. Their program spans solo piano works by both Chopin and Viardot, Viardot’s piano-and-voice arrangements of Chopin’s mazurkas — which Chopin himself advised on and was pleased with — and some of Viardot’s own original songs for soprano and piano.
Pre-concert talk at 1 pm with Dr. Zaide Pixley in the Lecture Hall at Dalton Center
