William Bracken at Bechstein Hall
Mastery and Mystery of a great musician
William Bracken at the Bechstein Hall armed with our early morning coffee we entered the starlit wonder that is this new Bechstein Hall.
What a marvel that Terry Lewis together with Bechstein dedicate much time to giving an important space for young musicians to play in, in the greatest musical metropolis in the world.
A forty minute programme played almost without a break as he united Clara and Robert with an umbilical of improvised transitions from one piece to another. This was quite the norm in the hall just next door in the early 1900 ‘s when artists such as De Pachman would join the pieces together and also give a running commentary as to how they were progressing .Will did not go that far but it shows off the skill of a real musician who is not only an interpreter but also a transmitter of emotions and atmosphere’s .
