Filip Michalak triumphs in Florence and so on to the live stream of Tuscia University in Viterbo
Fascinating recital by the young Danish pianist Filip Michalak who certainly had a tale to tell. In the series of star pianists from the Keyboard Trust in collaboration with the British Institute in Florence he presented a programme originally conceived as a panorama of styles and emotions from the baroque to the present day -In reviewing it in London a year ago I had given it the title of ‘Something Old -Something New ‘

A slightly modified programme as this young man had fallen in love with Franck’s Prelude Choral and Fugue which was now the centre piece of this panorama.
Fascinating stories on and off stage as this is a young man with something to say.
