Strange as it may sound, the repertoire for left hand piano is rich and extremely interesting. Some composers, such as Saint-Saëns and Bridge, enjoy the austerity dictated by this deliberate limitation. Others, such as Bartók, Blumenfeld and Godofsky, give the listener the feeling that the pianist is playing with both hands – and indeed a music that is extremely exuberant and layered. The distinguished pianist Apostolos Palios guides us through this wonderful repertoire, performing with absolute virtuosity more or less well-known works written for the left hand.
