Breathtaking, incredible and astounding.
David’s recital last night was one of those rare occasions that leave you speechless (which is not so good if you’re trying to write a blog).
This was virtuoso repertoire and playing at its best. The Mendelssohn three caprices gave way to one of my favourite piano works of all time, the Schumann Fantasy Op17. This was a masterful performance exhibiting David’s ‘total control of the piano keyboard’ and musicianship skills.
Just when you thought the music couldn’t get any better, the playing couldn’t get any faster and the Steinway grand piano couldn’t sound more wonderful he was back on stage for a thrilling ride through the Chopin Etudes Op.25 which quite literally had you hanging on for dear life.
A magnificent way to end a wonderful week of recitals.
We’ll be doing it all again next year so sign up to our mailing list on www.nzipf.com for updates on who we will be presenting.
