Enescu competition 2020 semifinal

I really didn't imagine I would be in the semi-final of the Enescu competition in Romania – and that I'd pull it off without catching Covid.

My programme was – strange. Enescu's 1st piano sonata, Ronald Stevenson's Peter Grimes Fantasy, and three Ligeti Études. I must say that Enescu's 2 piano sonatas, numbered 1 and 3, are stunning music of great depth.

I didn't reach the final, but this experience was great enough.

The performance was indeed at 7am UK time. While I can't post the recording here, I may be able to share it with specific interested people.
