Adam Heron at the National Liberal Club
A eclectic musician of refined taste and eloquence
Another memorable occasion for the second in the series of six recitals presenting aspiring young pianists by the Keyboard Trust together with the Robert Turnbull Foundation at the National liberal Club for the Asia Circle directed by Yisha Xue.
A beautiful Club where legend has it that Rachmaninov and Moiseiwitch gave recitals in its glorious past history.
An evening where pure music was allowed to pour from his fingers with a simplicity and beauty without any pianistic gymnastics or anything other than communicating the very essence and soul of great music as bequeathed to us by these universal giants.
An early Beethoven Sonata where Adam was content to allow the music to unfold following in the tradition of Haydn and Mozart. This was before the trials and tribulations of a turbulent life which would take Beethoven into new uncharted territory with an eventual vision of the peace and paradise that was awaiting him at the age of only 57.
A Bach Italian Concerto played with vibrant urgency and clarity with the sublime simplicity of the Andante in which Adam etched the melodic line with disarming aristocratic simplicity.
