Review Centre: Classical Pianists

"I am so pleased that the amazing Rachel was our pianist for our wedding at Westenhanger Castle. A very talented lady who played our chosen music beautifully and who helped make our day so special. Nothing was too much trouble, Rachel made us feel more like friends than customers right from the beginning. I cannot recommend her enough."

"We hired Irina to perform at our 4th of July party and we couldn't be happier with our choice! She did a solo-piano performance for about an hour and everyone was blown away by her talent! She engaged with the audience and introduced every piece. I highly recommend hiring Irina for your event if you are looking for a top-notch performance! "

"Thanks for a thrilling performance, Gabriel. There is no doubt that your mastery of piano and keyboard is imminent. While I can barely play piano, I do listen as I did when I was last in Sydney. That you have come so far, with such a large repertoire of both classical and South American masterworks, is not presented in what is a grouping of informal music. May I commend you on the interesting variations of intonation that you are able to express. Your technique is enviable. I am unfortunately not an expert in critique. What may help you as you press on to a rating of 102 out of 95, are some observations. That the Kwai is good is undoubted, and even with the Beale that you played upstairs in Allans, before Allans closed, the Pitt Street store, compared against the longer Yamaha Grand that you also played, in any of these, the higher octaves can sound a bit thin against the richness of the lower and middle registers. There were moments in My Way, when I sensed the thinness of the upper octaves. I thought also that as you had to reach so far, you had in fact more time than you think, to add more tone and meaning. I thought that you were a bit rushed at that point of the performance. You have all the skill necessary. Just take a little more time, particularly on your first right hand move into the upper octaves, to let the jazz notes fall like a sprinkling of rain. They are short notes and to fit them into strict time with such a large move up the keyboard, seems for a moment to squeeze the time you think you have to execute several high notes. Elsewhere in the several performance pieces, you extract a richness also in the higher octave notes. Well done. That the piece New York has syncopation and time changes is challenging. Your performed well. I do seem to think that you may benefit by understanding or viewing performances of tap dancers dancing to the piece. It is a difficult idiom, and not one I used to adore. So if we have experienced the dance moves, we may then relate better to the changes. Still very good playing. I so much enjoyed your performances. "

"I have visited Paphos on a number of occasions and have seen and heard Elena perform many times. She is absolutely amazing. A world class pianist (I am a musician as well) she performs in a totally relaxed and professional manner and always dresses to impress. She is ideal as a wedding pianist, hotel lobby pianist, cocktail hour pianist, the list is endless. A very talented lady. Totaly recommended."

"We wanted a pianist playing ambient background to welcome our guests and we could not of chosen better. The music was wonderful. Wendy was beautifully presented and brought a glorious white grand piano. I have since booked Wendy to play for us again. (10 / 10) Mr & Mrs McCulloch"

"Edward performed on our wedding on the 31 May 2021 and we could simply not have asked for a better choice! When you plan a wedding, you are literary dealing with a million things and various suppliers at the same time and this can be very overwhelming and stressful. As soon as we connected with Edward, we immediately felt reassured and that we don’t have to follow up with him at all, as he is extremely professional and responsible. The communication with him was very smooth and easy and he was also, very fast to get back to us - we just knew for sure, that the music will NOT be one of the things that we would have to worry about on that day! Also, apart from the fast that he is greatly talented in what he does, he was very flexible with our special song requests too, which also made our planning easier and of course our wedding day, even more special! Edward - Thank you so much for your great performance during our wedding and your overall help! We could not recommend you more to any one who is looking for an amazing and stress-free music option either for a social or corporate event!"

"Naina was punctual, dressed perfectly, and played beautifully. She was very polite and kind. I have had several compliments on her playing in the background of the party. She played some of her own compositions, which were delightful. She also played the music. My mom has loved for years. I would highly recommend Naina! "

"21st January 2023 Caroline played piano during the drinks reception at our wedding in January. We loved hearing her play and a lot of guests commented on how wonderful she sounded. Caroline was also fantastic throughout the planning process and even helped us book a piano tuner last minute. A pleasure to work with and we are so happy we booked her. Thank you, Caroline! Alice & Rodion "
