Masterly playing of crystalline clarity

Today a pre lunch recital by Giordano Buondonno followed by the Kettner Lunch with a talk by Peter Whyte about their founder Peter Boizot.
And just a few weeks ago the pianistic genius of Shunta Morimoto.
Giordano Buondonno is a young Ligurian born pianist who obviously had been much influenced by Michelangeli in his youth, as indeed in Italy he was revered as a God. Although his studies have brought him for the past five years or so to London, studying first at Trinity Laban with Sergio De Simone, Deniz Gelenbe and Martino Tirimo, and finishing his Masters at the Guildhall with Ronan O’Hora, Charles Owen and Noriko Ogawa. Illustrious names in the world of music,but the admiration for Michelangeli was born before he came to London, and although receiving expert advice from his mentors, that very particular sound world has remained as his goal.
