In the Thread: Like colourful contrasts? Hinrich Alpers on piano.
Post Subject: Like colourful contrasts? Hinrich Alpers on piano.Posted by Dominic on: 2/5/2007
I was listening to some of this past year's Honens piano 'competition' and was exposed to a german named Hinrich Alpers.
If he wants to play whatever it is he's playing you can really tell and the emotional contrasts through colours on the piano are incredible. Which would be all well and good but not really that interesting, if it weren't for his control over those colours, which really is something special. Lots of fun to listen to if you're in the mood.
The Honens website (honens.com) has some exerpts of the performances for the competition. I would suggest both the solo and trio portions. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
