György Ligeti Études (Books 1 and 2)
Debussy Images

Danny Driver Piano

Nothing in 20th Century piano music is quite like the Études by the great Hungarian György Ligeti. They are among the most difficult piano pieces ever composed – a veritable encyclopaedia of virtuosity – beautiful and devilish in equal measure.

Young British pianist Danny Driver has the artistry for the task and he couples these amazing pieces with the evocative sound-pictures of Debussy’s Images.

“Danny Driver, whose irreproachably eager and stylish pianism is a joy to encounter.”
The Guardian

Holy Trinity Church, Haddington

Holy Trinity stands on the site of a Franciscan friary (the original ‘Lamp of Lothian’ before that title passed to St Mary’s Church nearby) which was built here in the 13th Century. The friary was demolished in 1572, and almost two centuries later, in 1769, work was begun on a ‘qualified’ Anglican chapel which was finally consecrated as Holy Trinity in 1815. The present chancel was added and the interior remodelled in an attractive neo-Byzantine style in 1930.
