Two new "instruments"

John Lee

Tuesday 16 August 2011

Last weekend, I missed "Perth’s newest instrumental acquisition, a fortepiano built by the Italian company Bizzi. The instrument is an exact copy of a Walter fortepiano from the 1790s, similar to the instruments owned by Mozart, for which he composed his piano concertos and sonatas". Friends reported excellence at St Paul's, within John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School at Mirrabooka. Colin and I did, however, enjoy "Swan Philharmonic Orchestra" presentation of Verdi, Prokofiev, and Brahms; performed within the timber-lined recital auditorium of the John Inverarity Music & Drama Centre, at Hale School in Wembley Downs. A grand second appearance of this talented group, augmented by professionals, and conducted with flair by its two youthful founders.
