Giordano Buondonno at the National Liberal Club#
‘The return of the conquering hero’
Giordano Buondonno from the coast of La Spezia I have heard many times over the past few years whilst he was perfecting his playing at Trinity Laban and the Guildhall . It was Deniz Gelenbe , head of piano at Trinity, who first invited me to the Solti Studio in London to hear Giordano. I remember vividly his performance of the Four Brahms Ballades and as I learnt afterwards he was performing on Michelangeli’s Fabbrini Steinway.
