Classical Partners' soirees are truly unique. They offer the chance to experience music at its most intimate. Our latest at Craxton Studios was no exception. With no barrier between the musicians and the audience you can really feel the music. We were entertained by two young ladies who I am sure will be names that will become familiar in the near future. Ina Charuashvili and Meng Yang Pan performed a wonderfully varied programme of solo, duet and pieces for two pianos. There was sensitivity in the Rachmaninov Suite No 2 for two pianos, passion in the Arensky Suite Op. 15 for two pianos and virtuosity in the Schubert/Liszt Song Transcriptions when Meng Yang really excelled. It is so inspiring to hear young musicians performing to such a high level and with such obvious joy.
The evening was not just music of course. We also had a few glasses of bubbly on arrival with plenty of time to mingle and meet new friends as well as a buffet supper. I particularly enjoyed the chocolate meringue pudding as did everyone who tried it.
