Interview with Gabriela Montero

Posted October 26, 2011

This evening sees the London premiere of Gabriela Montero’s new work ExPatria. The acclaimed Venezuelan pianist will be joining the Academy at Cadogan Hall at 7.30pm for a programme which also includes works by Prokofiev, Beethoven and Piazzolla.

Jason Caffrey spoke to Montero about Ex Patria at her final rehearsal with the Academy in London.

In an interview broadcast on the BBC World Service, Montero talks about how violence in her home country has touched her own family, and how as a pianist, writing music about it is a natural response.

"The string sound is just gorgeous, big and pliant and vibrant, and the ensemble level defies all expectations — every note, every attack, precisely in the right place. Incisive, committed playing brought every measure to life."
