"Well, enter Simon Tedeschi and suddenly you're hanging on every note of what suddenly you realise is an extraordinary masterpiece. This was an absolutely wonderful performance and the soloist explored every subtlety and harmonic originality and he enjoyed himself so much and that enjoyment made his involvement in the piece totally infectious....I was soon finding myself listening totally freshly as if I'd never really heard the work before. The only word, I think, for this astonishing performance is breathtaking. It was absolutely compelling from start to finish. He carried the audience with him every step of the way so that the spontaneous standing ovation at the end was rather inevitable, really....the ease of his technique and his virtuosity was always at the service of the music and he brought every phrase to life with absolute charisma. The music making was as intoxicating as you could wish. The audience was on quite a euphoric high...It was an inspired performance . It was as if he was improvising the whole piece from start to finish. There's also an orchestral element in Rhapsody in Blue...the orchestra played with equal commitment and flair, perhaps inspired inspired by some extent...by the soloist. The whole performance was a superb example of shared music making, not just a one sided showpiece for the soloist. And then Simon Tedeschi gave us an encore that seemed to raise the stakes of virtuosity and inspiration even higher...whatever it was, I'll certainly be going out of my way to see this pianist if the opportunity arises again...he's certainly a name to watch...a truly magnificent concert...one of the highlights of the year so far.
