Raineri in recital

Hailed by Limelight as “a visionary prophet of the keys”, Alex Raineri is internationally regarded as one of this country’s leading musicians, returning to Port Fairy with a blockbuster recital program of 20th-century gems.

We leap from the starting blocks into the unstoppable and ever-shifting Phrygian Gates of early John Adams, an engrossing harmonic joyride of Olympian proportions; we pause at the summit with Australian composer Lyle Chan’s profound dedication; and we romp home with Ravel’s flashy magnum opus Gaspard, a three-movement series of extraordinary visions thrillingly haunting pianists and audiences alike since 1908.
