Italian Organist FAGIANI's Recital — Special Event
"He is a brilliant, virtuoso organist, but his great mastery is entirely subservient to the
realization of a larger musical experience" - John Scott
Concert organist Eugenio Maria FAGIANI has traveled across Europe, North America, and Russia and performed in just as many places. This October, he will visit Taiwan, where he will perform a solo concert on October 11. Furthermore, as part of Weiwuying's second anniversary celebration, the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts has scheduled a special 30-minute event to showcase the versatility and charm of the pipe organ. FAGIANI will begin with Widor's Toccata Allegro (Op. 42, No. 1), followed by a contrast and comparison between Franz Liszt's Sposalizio and French organist Jehan Alain's Litanies, which was composed during World War II. In addition to demonstrating his extraordinary skills as a virtuoso, FAGIANI will also improvise variations on Taiwanese folk songs, sharing his interpretation of Taiwanese culture with the audience.
