Pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen brings French baroque to concert grand at Wigmore Hall
A recital of works by Couperin, Rameau and Jacquet de la Guerre showcased elegant technique and interpretive flair.
Pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen performed French baroque keyboard works on concert grand piano at London's Wigmore Hall, a programme that departed from the traditional harpsichord associations of the repertoire. The recital included pieces by François Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.
According to The Guardian's review, Momen brought "unforced elegance" to the music, with "natural poise and fluid technique" that allowed melodic lines to breathe while respecting baroque keyboard conventions. The performance ranged from serene movements like Rameau's Musette en Rondeau to more muscular pieces such as the tambourin and rigaudon, demonstrating varied interpretive approach.
