<p>Gu Xinhao<br />I like very much your musical initiative, which became obvious from the first note of Mendelssohn. The rest of piece was also quite well played. I would wish for even more subtle technical precision – but it was still quite charming. Liszt impressed me even more wish fresh bold colors, effortless pianism and aplomb.I enjoyed “f”, gentle but confident phrasing. The Forest storm episode in the middle of the piece was performed well but when I closed my eyes, I still failed to imagine the real storm. I believe that this sonata by Haydn is one of the (if not the) most grand and significant sonatas of his (and even Mozart’s) time. With the first chords I want to be invited to the great ball room of the Royal Palace. Al the further events are large-scale, requiring performer to push the envelope of his imagination. <br />I see here a very strong potential for truly inspiring playing. In order to achieve it, more risks have to be taken. Don’t be afraid to push your imagination further, even if it will coast you a mistake or two – in the long run with talent and good guidance you will find your true artistic self.</p>
