Hao Zi Yoh igniting St Mary le Strand with radiance and the refined beauty of a true poet
Radiance and beauty filled the tropical air that has descended on London. With a scintillating refined palette of sounds Hai Zi Yoh illuminated this most beautiful of churches with a breath of fresh air that was exhilarating and inspiring . A refined outward delicacy that hid the volcanic energy that was within the very notes that poured from her fingers, not with vertical coarseness but with the horizontal radiance of a poet.
Nowhere was it more evident than in the chordal build up in Chopin’s second ballade that in Hao Zi’s hands was transformed into magical layers of sound. I doubt that Ravel’s moths have ever been happier than today as they flitted around this beautiful edifice like the ‘feux follets’ that abound in these balmy climes.
