Javier Perianes performs Saint-Saëns

30 Jul – 2 Aug 2025

Prepare for a fascinating voyage through exotic landscapes to the great expanses of the human heart. Spanish pianist Javier Perianes ‘really is an exquisite musician’, says The Times (London), and here he brings his ‘trademark polish and poetic sensitivity’ (Limelight) to Saint-Saëns’ thrilling Piano Concerto No.5. With its evocation of frogs and crickets croaking by the Nile and drawing upon the sounds of Nubian folk song, Saint-Saëns conjures a vibrant and romantic memory of Egypt. Acclaimed pianist Perianes brings each scene to life in dazzling colour.
