David Gomez- I attended his performance today in NUS Lecture Theatre 13. This event was organised NUS Centre for the Arts (CFA) in conjuction with the NUS Arts Festival. A quick intro about him:
“Born in 1974, David Gomez has been under the tutelage of many prestigiuos piano maestros like Roberto Bravo, Walter Hauzig and Michael Davidson at the Conservatory of Rotterdam. Since his concert at the age of 14, Gomez has continued to ethral audience across Europe and Asia; and has won several awards in national as well as international competitions. His remarkable rendition of the Intergral of Mozart Sonata’s is noteworthy, alongside his first record A. Piazzolla, Tangos para piano (1999), which was well received in Europe. Recently, this highly acclaimed Spanish pianist has also represented his hometown i the prestigious IX International Piano Festival in Mexico.”
This one hour performance was attended by quite a number of distinguish guests, namely the Ambassador of Spain to Singapore, Ambassador of Chile to Singapore and Ambassador of Mexico to Singapore. His skills are worth commenting. He played almost non-stop for the whole one hour, and without looking at scores for all his pieces, around 15 of them. What actually contradicted his wonderful performance was actually the bad lighting system in LT13. It was set to so dim that I had to strain my eyes and concentrate on the pianist. And of course some even dosed off because I guess that they do not seem to appreciate the piano pieces, especially for first timer. The music coming out from the piano would sound to them like someone who doesn’t know about piano. But, I will conclude that he has performed well and I have enjoyed the evening of tangos and sonatas.
