René Anne Louprette at RFH this evening

[Guest Geoff McMahon]

A bit late in the day, I am afraid, but those of you in or near London might like to be made aware of a concert by Renée Anne Louprette at the Royal Festival Hall this evening at 7:30pm with a pre-concert talk at 6:15. Details below.

Renée is an absolutely stunning performer, her playing is exceptionally musical and her recent CD Une Voix Française has been receiving outstanding reviews. I can promise any of you who manage to attend that you will remember this concert for a long time and certainly not regret going. I have seen her playing develop over the past 20 years.

Programme:

JS Bach: Prelude and Fugue in G, BWV.541
Marin Marais: Suite from Alcyone arr. Renée Anne Louprette for organ
Jehan Alain: Variations sur un thème de Clément Jannequin
Ad Wammes: Myto
(Interval)
Nadia Boulanger: Improvisation from 3 Pièces
Duruflé: Suite, Op.5

Was anybody on this discussion board at the recital? If so, would you like to do a review of it?

Since nobody else has responded, I can report that it was a wonderful recital. It was very musical and she got some really nice sounds out of the organ. The audience clearly enjoyed it and was very enthusiastic.
