Roberto Prosseda in Scotland
Roberto Prosseda’s recital at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland features the Piano-pédalier. In the late 1800’s there was a fashion for the Pedal Piano – two grand pianos stacked on top of each other, with the bottom instrument played using pedals much like an organ. Roberto Prosseda is the leading exponent of this instrument in our time, and his programme features some of those great composers, including Schumann, Gounod and Charles Alkan.
