On the evening of November 18, legendary pianist Eliso Virsaladze performed a breathtaking concert at Victoria Hall in Singapore. The 83-year-old Georgian captivated the packed audience from the very first note. Her heartfelt performance of Chopin touched listeners, filling the room with the masterful virtuosity that has been her trademark for decades. One review after the concert read: "As soon as she began, she unleashed a torrent of sound and passion on the C. Bechstein grand piano." – Straits Times, Chang Tou Liang
Eliso Virsaladze has been considered one of the most important representatives of the Russian piano school for decades. As a professor at the Moscow Conservatory and the Munich University of Music, she has trained generations of outstanding pianists. She has had a close relationship with our grand pianos for many years. On the way from the airport to the hotel, she spoke enthusiastically about her C. Bechstein grand piano. She expressed her deep affection for the instrument and said that she enjoys playing it. This connection was evident that evening as well: under her masterful artistry, our concert grand piano revealed a breathtaking depth of sound.
This evening was much more than just a concert – it was an experience that impressively demonstrated how significant the connection between a great artist and an outstanding instrument can be.
