Daniel Tong - Pianist Website updated. News, dates, ramblings… danieltong.com

Thanks to BBC Music Magazine 😊 classical-music.com/reviews/instru…

For the listener more used to hearing these sonatas on a modern piano, daniel tong coaxes a remarkably rich range of details and colours from the fortepiano. Resonus Classics #Beethoven #PianoSonatas

Thanks, Fran, for such a detailed and considered review. And very glad, of course, that you enjoyed!

It feels almost personal that BBC News (UK) (yes, BBC) reports that of 17 notable 2023 deaths in music, 0 were classical musicians. Especially demoralising that one of my great inspirations, Radu Lupu, was not worthy of mention. BBC Radio 3 BBC Music Magazine bbc.co.uk/news/extra/o8x…

I keep going back to daniel tong’s new disc. It gives me so much pleasure - and I’ve now got Vol 1 of the Beethoven sonatas (my very old ABRSM edition!) open on my piano

Good to see Pavel Kolesnikov playing from an iPad discreetly nestled in the piano. Time to get past this silly snobbery about playing from memory

Over the years I have played a lot of Beethoven. So I added a web page about it: danieltong.com/daniel_tong_be… Resonus Classics SOMM RECORDINGS John Suchet Royal Birmingham Conservatoire

Bit of Mozart with Jennifer Pike and yours truly at around 2 hrs of this afternoon's show on BBC Radio 3. Must be over 10 years ago now, a different life 😊 But lovely memories. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Really looking forward to this! If you happen to be in town a week on Saturday... Mathilde Milwidsky Ben Tarlton Kensington Chamber Orchestra

Calling all young chamber ensembles! Our 2023 Summer Residency is open for applications. Coaching, classes and perform side-by-side with inspiring coaches. Bursaries available. Spread the word! wyevalleyfestival.com/profiles/summe…

If you're in London tomorrow, do come along to this. Mathilde Milwidsky and Ben Tarlton are stunning partners, as are the fabulous Kensington Chamber Orchestra with Orlando Jopling. And Beethoven, of course, is what we all need at the moment.

Nothing more nerve-wracking than playing in your own college Royal Birmingham Conservatoire but really looking forward to this with the amazing Richard Jenkinson and the British Police Symphony Orchestra. I wonder what Shostakovich would have thought about his music being played by the police?

Piano trios tonight! Fanny Mendelssohn, Fauré, Schubert at Sage, Gateshead

Fabulous photo shoot in the rain with amazing @nathaneb :-) Ikon Arts Management
