Milda Daunoraite at St Mary’s Perivale
A joyous journey of beauty and poetry
Lovely Milda as Dr Mather says ‘Alive and captivating with her charismatic and charming personality that is what comes across in her playing’.
From an almost too serious Schubert but with ravishing glimpses of paradise that shone through as it did with Chopin’s Fourth Scherzo with brilliant playing of breathtaking beauty and vitality. An all or nothing performance of Liszt’s Dante Sonata had us all on the edge of our seats as demonic octaves were calmed with whispered secrets of sublime beauty. Finally a cat and mouse study by Ligeti that just showed off her brilliant technical command as the wind blew so securely over the keys in her beautiful hands. What is it about these pianists from Lithuania that have a freshness and fluidity of playing that is like a breath of fresh air blowing especially on this winters day in Perivale!
