This last Saturday, I attended George Fiore’s performance Chopin’s work at the “Northwest Pianos Saturday” periodic recital. At 82, Fiore exhibited an impeccable technique, an uncommon lyrical playing style; a wide dynamic range varying from a masculine strength of his forte to the subtlest delicate pianissimo. In short, it was a magical two-hour program performed all from memory. The experience was of intense warmth; perfectly comfortable, that is music at his best.Fiore’s interpretation was based on his analytical understanding of Chopin’s musical structure. His anecdotes brought clarity to the music as he freely elaborated on Chopin’s settings. He reached out to the younger children and adults alike. Fiore was in constant contact with his audience, responding to questions, playing requested compositions and commenting on historical vignettes.Northwest Pianos provided a nineteenth century vintage Steinway C totally rebuilt for this occasion. The beauty of the instrument and of the sound emerging from Fiore’s superb musicianship created the ideal musical evening,Do it again, Mr. Fiore;do it again, Northwest pianos.
