PROGRAM
LISZT Spozalizio from Annees de Pelerinage    
LISZT Sonata in b minor    
CHOPIN 12 Etudes Op 25                                          
CHOPIN Ballades No 3 Op 47 & No 4 Op 52

Those privileged to witness this recital, featuring works from two of the greatest composers for piano of all time, will be rewarded with a musical experience that will leave them breathless.  The genius of Liszt and the brilliance of Chopin will shine through in what will be Perth’s piano recital of the year. 

…after all the highlights who provides the sensation?  Konstantin Shamray.  He places himself not at the centre, but strives for the fulfillment of higher aspirations.  …Each central voice or bass line shows up clearly, crescendos and diminuendos are artfully organized with rhythm calculated to a millisecond.
Lars Wallerang, West German Zeitung

A touch of real genius   ….. a gift for painting pictures and telling stories in sound.
Elizabeth  Silsbury  The Advertiser (Adelaide)

Shamray’s program was a fiercely demanding compilation that featured some of the toughest challenges in the repertoire.     ….the most rewarding offering of the evening lay in keeping of Liszt’s arrangement of the Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde.   ….nimble ,tireless fingers gave us a first rate account of Bach’s Partita No.5.   ….Mozart poses the greatest challenge to any musician ……it requires absolute control and high musicality ……and this was triumphantly apparent in Shamray’s account of Sonata in F K533.
Neville Cohn  West Australian
