in 1992 Alan Fraser while was back home in Montreal visiting friends and family, he gave an informal performance at the Yellow Door Coffee House, where he had passed many a happy evening listening to folk music during his studet days. This recital includes: 3 Scarlatti Sonatas, Mozart Sonata in G major K. 281, 3 Rachmaninoff Preludes: the exquisite E flat major, the monumental B minor and the passionate, dramatic C minor. The last selection in this sound file is the intimate Nocturne in F major of Chopin. |
