| 21-Jan-2013 Wigmore Hall | A feast of virtuosity: Yevgeny Sudbin at Wigmore Hall |
 It is rare to be at a concert where one is utterly captivated from the first note until the very last has faded to silence, but such was the effect of Russian pianist Yevgeny Sudbin on a packed Wigmore Hall at his lunchtime recital of works by Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt, Scriabin and Saint-Saëns.

| 5-Nov-2012 Gresham's School: Auden Theatre | Freddy Kempf creates a sizzling spectacular for Bonfire Night in Holt |
 An altogether warmer experience on Bonfire Night was enjoyed at Holt’s Auden Theatre, for a performance by one of today’s most successful and busy concert pianists, Freddy Kempf. Perhaps most famous for not coming first in the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow in 1998, Kempf has since enjoyed a busy international concert and recording schedule, playing with many of the world’s great orchestras in the world’s greatest venues.

| 14-Feb-2012 St George's Bristol | Love for the Piano: Freddy Kempf at St George’s Bristol |
 Love was definitely in the air at Freddy Kempf’s St. Valentine’s Day Concert. He gave a passion-filled performance of Beethoven’s Sonata in C minor, Op. 13, ‘Pathétique’ to open the night, which was fitting with the nature of the title. The true ‘Pathétique’ should have passionate expression that should be felt by the heart and transcend mere variations in tempo. Kempf mastered all three movements and what was so important was that he was not afraid to use silence for effect in the music.Read full review... | |
