Honens @ Home: Winston Choi performs Schubert and Beach

We are thrilled to share this special performance today, recorded
by the Chicago-based Canadian pianist and 2003 Honens Laureate,
Winston Choi. 


A few months ago, Winston was part of a Laureate Circle Goes
Online event, where he shared a thoughtful program with works by
Franz Schubert, Amy Beach, and William Grant Still. In this
episode, you'll hear two of those pieces, both romantic and
lyrical. The first is Schubert's Impromptu No. 3 in B-flat Major
Op. 142, which Winston describes as, "perhaps one of the most
delightful and positive pieces one can find," and Beach's Ballade
Op. 6. Winston describes Beach as "a composer that should be
considered one of the greats," whose music is "rich, thick,
complex, and yet, speaks organically."
