The evening was amazing. Serhiy had a miraculous way of bringing out and enhacing the beautiful melodies, bitonalities, and expressions that can be found in Stravinsky's music. In addition to this, it was a thrill just to watch Serhiy perform - to see his hands dance above the keys! In fact, prior to the commencement of the program I was contemplating the transcriptions and thought to myself that the only part of the ballet work that would be utterly missing from the transcription would be the ballet, the dance, itself! However, as Serhiy began to play and as I watched his fingers move so elegantly, yet powerfully, over the keyboard, I realized that the dance was certainly not lost in the transcription. I could hardly dare to blink, for fear that I would miss the subtle and beautiful choreography of Serhiy's hands on the piano.
A truly amazing experience. Bravo Serhiy! Bravo!

You can believe that I'll be there! I already have two tickets to the entire competition. As always, I'll be promoting the competition on my website and Facebook fanpage! The Bachauer is near and dear to my heart and I attend almost every concert and as much of the competitions as my schedule will permit.
So "yes!" - you will definitely see me there!
