Latest Review, Little Gaddesden Music Club Piano Recital
Maybe he left Andalucia when he was only four, but something Spanish must have entered his bloodstream to judge by Sebastian Stanley's superb playing of Granados and Albeniz on the 27th November (2011). Starting with the more familiar fare of Haydn and Schubert he immediately revealed delicacy of colouring, nimble fingerwork and a sure sense of style. But it ws when he turend his attentions to Spanish music that he made us realise that his was an exceptional gift. In case we were too carried away by such seductive sounds he finished by giving a polished and indeed flawless performance of the second book of Brahms-Paganini Variations than which there is no greater technical challenge.
We were indeed fortunate to expereicne this young man's playing so early is his career for he is certainly destined for the finest concert-halls. Even so, we hope he will have fond memories of the room at Bridgewater House so kindly made available by Mr and Mrs Pratt. I am confident that they will never hear their piano played more beautifully. Antony Hopkins, Little Gaddesden Music Club
A little personal note
8th January 2012. Off on a wonderful sounding cruise tomorrow. Lets hope it lives up to all I think it can be. I have been told the piano is very nice, so I look forward to trying it out.
