The young Japanese soloist Akihiro Sakiya, winner of the 56th Jaén International Piano competition in three categories - Solo, Audience and Spanish Music - has constructed a programme that includes Brahms’ Piano Sonata No.3, one of the great sonatas of its time, Debussy’s evocative Estampes and a Spanish classic by Granados.

Written as test pieces for the Jaén competition, the two contemporary Spanish works draw on rich folkloric traditions.
