NZIPF Opening Night

The New Zealand International Piano Festival saw Wellington pianists Richard Mapp and Emma Sayers performing a mixed piano duet and piano duo programme.

Much of the programme was perhaps not repertoire that we were familiar with, however, that is the beauty of festivals such as these where one can be pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Last nights performance was definitely one of those occasions and the favourite for me was the Lutoslawski - variations on a theme of Paganini which brought the recital to a fitting close.

Richard and Emma not only commanded the keyboard but a spellbound audience.

Here’s looking forward to Boris Giltburg this evening.
