Lifted on to a Higher Plane (Haibun)
|
Sonatas of Beethoven and Brahms are played by stunning partnership of many notes. Violin soars effortlessly into fluid song. (It already belonged to its third owner by the time Ludwig van Beethoven was born.) |
|
long notes held over
poignant expression brings tears perfect synchrony |
|
The pianist's page-turner has a responsible and nerve-wracking challenge. Not for an instant
can his concentration be allowed to wander. Musical score moves on fast! |
|
body language
tossed with joyful abandon to and fro agitato
no destruction this time waves, dynamic range duo as one
exquisite syncopation transfixed we witness |
|
Breathtaking, gloriously beautiful; intonation beyond all superlatives; famous composers of the
past speak refreshed through present-day genius. We go on our way with thanks, raised to a new level of existence. |
Peter Horsfield 13/8/2015
Inspired by the lunchtime concert performed at Leatherhead Methodist Church on 13th August 2015 by Fabrizio Falasca, violin; and Marios Panteliadis, piano. This is also Peter's 500th poem. Congratulations, Peter, on a remarkable achievement.
The reference to “no destruction” is from my poem “Tested to Destruction”, written on 30/4/2015, after the previous recital by Marios Panteliadis.
