Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is one of my favorite to perform. It has it all… lyricism, virtuosity, intensity, and depth.
Can you guess the famous pop song that was inspired by this work?
I’ll be performing this concerto next week in Chicago, then Rach 3 in October with Symphonicity. Check my website for tickets!

A mountain mahogany tailpiece modeled after the fittings adorned on Antonio Stradivarius’ 1709 “La Pucelle” violin. Given the natural variability of the wood, this tailpiece features a few areas of extra rare dark sections, most notably in the top left corner of the piece.

Remembering the greatest of the tenors and Joan's close friend - Luciano Pavarotti (12 October 1935 - 6 September 2007).
Tumblr media
[…] "Going to Australia with Joan, first of all, I've learned to be a very serious professional singer and from her particularly, I learn to breath, who is the most important thing, but the most difficult. More than anything, I think the technique is perfect, I think it's probably the most incredible technique of all the time I would say." […]
Excerpt taken from the documentary "Pavarotti - 2019" by Ron Howard.

A career interrupted for health reasons
Faustão will undergo a heart transplant. And then don't forget to take drugs, a lot of really expensive drugs because the drug is capable of preventing the rejection of the transplanted organ by the person's body, and the patient can die almost a month later. However, we hope that the surgery will be a successful success, and in addition, Brazil is a pioneer in this type of surgery, responsible for making the country one of the most advanced cardiological surgery centers in the world. And, currently, it exports technology.
During his many years of career, he received honorary titles and numerous honors from governments around the world. Never met him personally, but through his team the program was awesome. “I say; the program is fun, it's an art, and it has done good for others."
Well, at the time, I didn't have a television at home. And I only lived with my school books. My father likes me to see my face in books. Then he bought a TV and lost the desire to read. I watched a program that airs on Sundays and in the morning and at night it's just cartoons. I remember my father had an old car that kept breaking down. One day we took it to another city and the owner of the junkyard robbed us and even called the police. The owner of the workshop said that my father hadn't paid. And to avoid getting stuck, my father took our TV as payment. I spent the night with my baby crying and without television, but I remember a program the dinosaur family and Alf and stubborn and alexia and ice mc on the Faustão program.
That day was magical.

Maurice Ravel
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) was a French composer of classical music best known for his innovative piano pieces and orchestral works like Bolero and Daphnis et Chloé. Sometimes called an 'impressionist' composer, much was made of a practically non-existent rivalry with Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Ravel's work is most renowned for its complex yet sophisticated and precise orchestration.

Delayed at the airport on the way to perform in Seattle at the Benaroya Concert Hall and making the most of the wait by studying some scores!
I find studying the score away from the piano essential to both memorization and diving deeper into to the piece.
Every performer has a unique way of playing the same piece. Meditating on certain passages, motifs, and harmonies quietly, considering what they meant to the composer and what they mean to me, and how best to transport the audience into that story through phrasing and voicing, gives me the highest sense of artistic expression and, like a great book, is an ever-evolving journey of self-discovery in which, no matter how many times you read it, it reveals new layers to you each time.
See you soon Seattle!
