Imogen Cooper is my kind of pianist. Schubert is her specialty, but she also takes an interest in new music. She's the daughter of a distinguished critic and a sometime student and mentee of Alfred Brendel. And her close collaboration with baritone Wolfgang Holzmair recalls Gerald Moore's work with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Highlighted by Beethoven's "Tempest" Sonata and Schumann's "Fantasiestücke," Cooper's second Frederic Chopin Society recital also embraces works by Haydn, Chopin and Brahms.
