Petrushka and Carnival: A Piano Recital by Charles Wiffen

Charles Wiffen performs music inspired by puppets, lovers and carnivals, including Stravinsky’s celebrated Three Movements from Petrushka, Rachmaninov’s transcription of Kreisler’s Liebesleid and Schumann’s Carnaval.

Celebration, love and sorrow exist alongside each other; brilliance, virtuosity, excitement and energy exist alongside introspection, sadness and tragedy.

Charles has performed extensively as a pianist in the UK and internationally, including recitals in London’s Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room and Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall. He has also broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM.
