| 18-Nov-2012 Westminster Cathedral Hall | Eugen Indjic has Schumann steal Chopin's thunder at Westminster Cathedral Hall |
 The past two seasons have seen the Chopin Society UK celebrate the composer’s bicentenary and its own 40th anniversary. The programme of monthly concerts that it puts on continues to feature a roster of well-known artists alongside those that deserve to be better known. The Yugoslav-born French-American pianist Eugen Indjic falls into the latter category. This is despite an impressive international career begun in the 1960s that has seen him collaborate with artists of calibre such as Giuseppe Sinopoli, Valery Gergiev, Rafael Kubelik and Erich Leinsdorf.Read full review... | |
| 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... | |
| 6-Dec-2011 Wigmore Hall | Restless Narratives and Fugitive Visions: Khatia Buniatishvili at Wigmore Hall |
 As the Liszt bicentenary year draws to a close, Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili offered her own contribution to the celebrations in a sold-out recital at the Wigmore Hall, featuring music by Liszt, Chopin and Prokofiev.
Opening with Liszt’s transcription of J S Bach’s Prelude and Fugue for organ in A minor, BWV 543, a work of stern and imposing grandeur, she quickly stamped her authority on the evening with displays of virtuosic and sensitive pianism.
