| Note: | |
Colin Stone first came to prominence in 1986 when he won the Royal Over-Seas League Piano Competition in London, his performance of Liszt's Dante Sonata at the Queen Elizabeth Hall being a notable triumph. In the same year, encouragement at the Busoni competition in Italy and a highly acclaimed Wigmore Hall debut launched his career as a soloist. At the final of the prestigious Young Concert Artists Trust audition a year earlier, the famous conductor Sir Charles Groves praised the young pianist for his rare musical qualities and tipped him to succeed at the very highest level. Many concerto engagements followed including Mozart's K271 in a tour of Italy with the London Soloists Chamber Orchestra, Beethoven's Emperor at the Sheldonian Theatre, the two Brahms concerti, the Schumann at St John Smith's Square, the Tchaikovsky B flat minor, Rachmaninov's 2nd and both Shostakovich concerti. In 1992 he began a series of recordings for Pickwick's IMP Masters label with the then recently formed London Mozart Trio. Colin Stone's first solo CD, of transcriptions by Prokofiev of his own theatre music, was released in 1994 on the United label and has been followed by a CD for Olympia of the two piano sonatas by Schostakovich. Colin has released three CDs of solo piano music on the Merlin Classics label with major works by Schubert, Chopin and Schumann, as well as music by contemporary composers—Andre Tchaikovsky, Malcolm Williamson and Robert Keeley. Colin combines his performing activities with his role as a professor at the Royal Academy of Music. This is one of regular thursday evening piano concerts at this architecturally stunning venue. Simon will continue his Beethoven Sonata Cycle on the first thursday of every month. Free refreshments will be served and the concert ends at 8.30pm. |
