Internationally award-winning pianist Coady Green places two epic works in dialogue across centuries, cultures, and worlds. Liszt’s Sonata in B minor stands as one of the great monuments of the piano repertoire – a single, unstoppable musical journey of volcanic power and transcendent beauty, where pathos and virtuosity are united in one sweeping form. In striking contrast, Linda Kouvaras’s Herring Island Piano Sonata expands the idea of the sonata, giving voice to Indigenous histories of place, and tracing stories of water, land, and survival from St Kilda to Herring Island. Together, these two works ask us to listen to the piano as both myth-maker and witness, as both Romantic dream and living archive.
