Monsieur Chopin
HERSHEL FELDER HAS DONE IT AGAIN. HE WOWED US BEFORE AS GEORGE GERSHWIN BUT I THINK HIS BIOGRAPHICAL PLAY WITH MUSIC, ‘MONSIEUR CHOPIN;THE MUSIC OF FRYDERYK CHOPIN’ IS EVEN BETTER.
DEMONSTRATING REMARKABLE VERSATILITY SHOWMANSHIP AND PIANO DEXTERITY HE PERFORMS AND ENTERTAINS US WITH THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF THIS GREAT MUSICAL IMPROVISOR WHO LIKE FELDER HAD A THEATRICAL SOUL. I LOVE THE MOCK SALON AT THE END WHERE THE AUDIENCE GETS TO ASK QUESTIONS AND FELDER DEFTLY ANSWERS ALL COMERS WITH KNOWLEDGE WIT AND YES MORE MUSIC. I LOOK FORWARD TO HIS ONE PERSON BEETHOVEN STUDY LATER ON IN THE SUMMER AT THE GLOBE PLAYHOUSE IN SAN DIEGO THOUGH I THINK MR BEETHOVEN WILL FIND HIS WAY TO LOS ANGELES IF THE AUDIENCE REACTION TO HIS FIRST TWO PIECES IN THIS MUSICAL TRILOGY IS ANY INDICATOR. WELL WORTH SEEING.
