What would life be like without a piano?
Celebrating Lee Shing’s enduring 20-year passion for music
Acclaimed Hong Kong classical pianist Lee Shing presents an exhilarating programme of three significant works that have inspired and shaped his life as a performer. The recital opens with Beethoven’s Sonata No. 8 in C minor “Pathetique”, a lamentation written when Beethoven was fighting against losing his hearing, and a piece that Lee mastered through memorisation as deteriorating vision began to hinder his ability to read music. The sonata is followed by Schumann’s “Scenes from Childhood” (Kinderszenen), a piece evoking the dreams and emotions of youth. To close the recital, Lee presents Beethoven’s Sonata No. 30 in E major, a profound piece composed after Beethoven had become deaf, and a reminder of the power of art to provide solace and inspire determination.
