TEHRAN – Iranian veteran pianist Fereydoun Nassehi performed pieces from world-renowned composers at a recital titled “Chopin Night – Liszt Night” on Tuesday at Roudaki Hall in Tehran.
Nassehi started the recital with the “Piano Sonata No. 23” by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was followed by “The Angel of Death” by Franz Liszt, as well as “Études Nos. 4, 23, and 24” by Frédéric Chopin, Honaronline reported.
The second half of the program featured two selections from Liszt’s “Six Paganini Études,” which Liszt composed based on works by Niccolò Paganini.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) was a German composer and pianist. One of the most revered figures in the history of Western music, his works rank among the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical to the Romantic era.
Franz Liszt (1811 – 1886) was a Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist, conductor and teacher of the Romantic period. With a diverse body of work spanning more than six decades, he is considered to be one of the most prolific and influential composers of his era, and his piano works continue to be widely performed and recorded.
Frédéric François Chopin (1810 –1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading composer of his era whose poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation.
Niccolò Paganini (1782 – 1840) was an Italian violinist and composer. He was the most celebrated violin virtuoso of his time, and left his mark as one of the pillars of modern violin technique.
Fereydoun Nassehi, 68, is the son of acclaimed composer and trombone player Hossein Nassehi (1925 – 1977).
He is a graduate from Berlin University of Arts in Germany and has performed at several concerts, collaborating with Iranian and international orchestras.
