It’s time for a masterclass and today’s offering was recorded at the Royal College of Music in London during October 2020. Taking place in the RCM’s Performance Hall, the class was given by renowned British-born pianist Freddy Kempf, who worked with two young RCM students, Nataly Ganina and Kirill Zheleznov. They played Chopin’s Scherzo No. 3 in C-sharp minor Op. 39 and Beethoven’s Sonata No. 26 in E flat major Op. 81a.
I hope you enjoy this class – I watched it ‘live-streamed’ and was fascinated, as always. I particularly appreciated the tips on voicing, and loved how Kempf addressed the audience, asking for their thoughts on the performance, too.
