Her sense of detail and exploration became more evident during the Impromptus No. 1 in A flat Major op. 29, as we began to realize that musically, she is totally at home with the endless pianistic invention and abundance created by Chopin. After numerous rounds of applause for this sumptuous musical family af- cut through the night air, it was clear that we had a focused, intuitive artist before our eyes. Her strong fingers were again evident as she produced a committed and even sound during the performance of Chopin’s Etude in C minor op. 25 #12. Throughout each piece Eliza possessed an immaculate, sparkling technique that allowed the music to breathe and gave it sensi- city of Dubai. He is indeed taking a further step through these prestigious concerts to launch the United Arab Emirates Young Artists‘ Foundation in order to support emerging talent within the region. We were therefore most fortunate to witness piano reci- tals from Mr Folkert‘s gifted daugh- ters, Eliza, 12 and Emilia, 11; young artists following confidently in their father‘s footsteps. Emelia played first. There was a strong rhythmic pulse to her music making as she ably inhabited the dif- ferent world of Beethoven’s, “Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento” 6 Variations in G major bringing out their charm and grace. Emelia‘s pianistic skill meant she could easily convey the contras- ting moods of each piece, switching easily between bright and happy moods, to the demands of a more mu- scular and emphatic sound. Emelia‘s strong connection to the music of polish pianist, Boleslaw Woytowicz Capriccio (1948) was clearly palpab- le. She brought a mature coherence to the percussive sounds, extensive runs and angular harmonies within the modern piece, causing her strong musical personality to shine through every note. Eliza followed her younger sister on stage and as the first crystal clear tone of Chopin‘s Etude in F minor op. 25 #2 E minent polish pianist, Piotr Folkert who is known for his sensitivity and depth of interpretation did not dis- appoint when he came to perform a demanding recital at concert series, „Music Under The Stars of Dubai“. His playing during Bach-Liszt Organ Prelude and Fugue in A Minor BWV 543 revealed a strong awareness of structure, thoughtfully supported by rich and elegant vocal lines. You could not fail to be carried away by the monumental flow of his contra- puntal music making, which culmi- nated in the evening‘s highlight of the four Chopin Ballades. Mr Folkert‘s concentration was penetrating as he performed some of the most deman- ding pieces in the piano repertoire. His refined touch enabled him to display both great dynamic range and subtle shading throughout each piece, illuminating the poetic strength, pro- fundity and grace of Chopin‘s word- less narratives. On this balmy night in a leafy salon hideaway neighbouring the famous Burj-Al-Arab, German impresario Manfred Mumedey has created a unique event that brings the highest musical calibre and culture to the By Dental Tribune Middle East ________________________
