Did I hear the funeral March by Chopin? It's beautifully done with the piano. The thing about Lauren is that she always managed to play it with such clarity which is a delight to the ears !
There is some of the most exquisite pianism on display here. Zhang, the 2018 BBC Young musician winner plays Schuman’s Kreisleriana with fire and delicacy in equal measure. Some pianist over-exaggerate the difference between the two characters but somehow she is able to demonstrate that it is two poles of the same character with seamless phasing of the transitions and in the slower passages you can feel the pained expressions of Schumann’s self-reflecting masterpiece. The Chopin Bflat minor sonata is well paced and she can make the Steinway sing in the lyrical passages. As an encore we are treated to The E major Scherzo. Magical.
