Woking Classical Review: January 2012
http://wokingclassicalreview.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 22 January 2012. Soirees at Breinton - Calum Smart, violin and Gordon Back, piano. The second piece was Avec élan, a piece composed for Callum by Swiss composer Jean-Luc Darbellay. It means “with passion” and lasts just three minutes. The rather simple opening, with one note followed by another, made us wonder how the music would develop. Callum played it with passion, as the title suggested. It showed off Callum’s technical and artistic strengths. He was very expressive, showing unique...Two enc...

Katya Apekisheva - 3 December 2011. The next piece, Schumann’s Kinderszenen was many peoples’ favourite. As Schumann described these scenes of an adult’s recollection of youth "peaceful, tender and happy", we were all reminiscing of our own childhood (except of course for the children in the au...In the first scene ...

Friday, 28 October 2011. Soirees at Breinton - Piers Lane piano recital review. Piers Lane piano recital on 24 October 2011. Piers Lane is a sensational performer! He has a deep understanding and knowledge of music, creates a warm sound, displays his emotional interpretation, touches the audience’s heart, and builds great rapport with his listeners. What a delight it was to have him perform at Breinton. This evening was a wonderful opening to our 2011 – 2012 season. Labels: Soirees at Breinton.

Woking Classical Review: Soirees at Breinton - Lomeiko-Zhislin Duo
http://wokingclassicalreview.blogspot.com/2012/09/soirees-at-breinton-lomeiko-zhislin-duo.html
Monday, 24 September 2012. Soirees at Breinton - Lomeiko-Zhislin Duo. As I write this, I am staring at the pouring rain outside the study window. Two days after our opening of the Breinton season, I am still on a high from the excitement we experienced. What a wonderful evening it was! However Queen Elisabeth was well known for her love of music and she founded the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in his memory. Among the numerous international competitions, this is considered one of the most presti...

Woking Classical Review: Woking Symphony Orchestra - Sibelius, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky
http://wokingclassicalreview.blogspot.com/2012/11/woking-symphony-orchestra-sibelius.html
Monday, 19 November 2012. Woking Symphony Orchestra - Sibelius, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky. Woking Symphony Orchestra showed their worth at their latest concert last Saturday (November 17th 2012). As the programme was one which had wide appeal, there was something for everyone in a lesser-known suite of great beauty by Sibelius (King Christian II), the emotional Rachmaninov 3rd Piano Concerto and Tchaikovsky’s rousing and energetic 2nd Symphony – the “Little Russian”. The second half of the concert was ...

Woking Classical Review: April 2012
http://wokingclassicalreview.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 April 2012. Soirees at Breinton - Tra Nguyen, piano. The first movement of Clementi’s Sonata has such melodic passages; I am very fond of this movement. It was acutely and elegantly executed with clear trills and steady sounds. The slow second movement was moving and touching, which was followed by a contrasting Presto, concluding this Sonata. I love Chopin’s piano Sonatas – I think both No.2 and No.3 are stunning works, and I am so glad that Tra included one of them! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
