Welcome to the official website of Sebastian Stanley

Next Engagement

1-8 June 2012, Album Recording of Granados Complete Goyescas and Spanish Dances.  

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 was when he turned 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

30th April 2012. So... New youtube videos up and running. Please share if you like them. Thank you to Oscar Torres for doing a wonderful job on the recording front, very proud I am!  New small update to my website which I think makes the homepage more concise and new album recording in less than a month now. It has been a wonderful start to the year and I cannot believe we are nearly half way through.
