About Simon Callaghan plays Schubert, Clarke and Scott

One of the leading pianists of his generation, Simon Callaghan has recorded more than fifty CDs and performed in many of the major concert halls around the world. In Melrose, he will play two extraordinary pieces from 1908 by young English composers, both of which he has recorded to great critical acclaim. Rebecca Clarke’s Theme and Variations, with its Schubertian grace and charm, established her as an emerging feminine talent in those chauvinistic times. Cyril Scott’s astonishingly original first sonata so impressed Stravinsky that he incorporated its rhythmic motifs into The Rite of Spring. Simon’s recital ends with arguably the most profound sonata ever, Schubert’s last, completed just weeks before his death.

Rebecca Clarke: Theme and Variations

Cyril Scott: Sonata No.1

Franz Schubert: Sonata in B-flat major, D. 960
