Al Ryan presents current and former Radio 3 New Generation Artists performing at St. Georges Bristol. Today, Georgian pianist, Giorgi Gigashvili, brings us the epic romance of Chopin's fourth Ballade, elegant formal dances from Bach, and Shostakovich’s hefty Piano Sonata No.2 - written at the height of the Second World War and demonstrating his trademark neurotic energy, brooding melancholy and angular beauty.
