Piers Lane brings all his pianistic panache to this splendidly eclectic recital of works from the 1700s to 2019, in a programme exploring very different aspects of the dance.

"You can easily imagine the audience’s indulgent end-ofrecital smiles over Das Butterbrot (Litolff possibly, probably not Mozart)." - Gramophone Magazine, July 2023.
