Review Centre: Classical Pianists

"I contacted this duo for my father’s funeral. It was a very difficult moment, but their sensitivity and professionalism helped us face the ceremony with greater serenity. The organ added an incredible depth to the atmosphere, while the soprano interpreted the chosen pieces with a gentleness that moved everyone present. Despite the short notice, they responded immediately and accommodated all our requests. I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for musicians who not only perform beautifully but also convey respect and empathy."

"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. "

"Robert played the organ and piano for a memorial service for our family, and his music provided great comfort during a difficult moment. He approached the service with deep respect, sensitivity, and understanding, helping us choose pieces that truly reflected our loved one’s life and spirit. His performances were gentle, expressive, and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of remembrance. The music helped create a sense of peace and unity among all those present. Many attendees told us how touched they were by the beauty of the music. Robert’s professionalism, kindness, and discretion were greatly appreciated. We could not have asked for a more thoughtful and skilled musician to accompany such an important and emotional occasion."

"We just want to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Thursday. You played beautifully and I can’t even begin to say how much I appreciated you taking the time to learn all our preferred music. All our guests commented on how great you were! My only regret is we didn’t have time to say thanks in person. "

"I had the pleasure of experiencing a performance by a piano and violin duo at our recent event, and it was absolutely extraordinary. The seamless blend of the piano’s rich tones with the violin’s melodic lines created an atmosphere that was both captivating and elegant. The musicians displayed exceptional talent, effortlessly navigating a diverse repertoire that included classical pieces, contemporary hits, and romantic melodies. Each piece was performed with a level of precision and emotion that truly moved the audience. Their ability to communicate through their instruments was evident in every note, making the performance feel intimate and deeply personal. One of the highlights of the evening was the synergy between the two musicians. Their connection was palpable, as they played in perfect harmony, complementing each other beautifully. The piano provided a solid foundation, while the violin added a soaring, lyrical quality that elevated the music to new heights. The duo’s professionalism was also noteworthy. They were punctual, well-prepared, and adapted seamlessly to the flow of the event. Their performance added a touch of sophistication and grace that was appreciated by all our guests. I would highly recommend this piano and violin duo to anyone looking for a musical experience that is both enchanting and memorable. Their performance was a true highlight of our event, and I am grateful for the beautiful music they provided."

"Craig performed at our wedding back in July 2019. Craig played for our guests entering the room and leaving the room. Craig also took the time to learn our wedding song Amazed by Lonestar. He made our day really special to us by going the extra mile and playing a flawless set. His setup wasn't intrusive, but could be heard throughout our ceremony room. This gentleman has a gift and I would not hesitate to hire or recommend him to friends, family and strangers. Craig’s professionalism and commitment to providing a magical service is outstanding, even the owner of the hotel asked for Craig’s details as they were very impressed with his musical talent. Thank you Craig for making our day as magical and memorable as possible"

"Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal and helped make our wedding dreams come true. I will be eternally grateful for her openness and flexibility with our unique song requests. She performed flawlessly and was able to read the ceremony incredibly well and time all the music perfectly. There's no way anyone choosing to hire her for their event will be disappointed."
