Debussy/Prokofiev
Chautauqua Piano Festival
Chautauqua Piano Festival
Finally I have seen Chautauqua with my own eyes, and it is a beauty! They say it is a Disneyland for intellectuals. So it was a perfect place to play a program that can be described as “American Idol” for music-lovers.
The results from this audience of students and music-lovers: almost a tie! This is one of the closest results yet.
Thanks to a listener, discovered Ella Fitzgerald’s jazz version of Reverie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5m0QGET9Bk

Prokofiev might have won if you could have added a saxophone.
Debussy: I felt wrapped up in the music. Prokofiev: mentally challenging; felt like watching a fine athlete
Ho! Two sides to my personality!
Toccata was SICK! Amazing recital. Thank you!
I understood Prokofiev for the first time. What a blast of creative energy.
