Earlier today I watched on BBC4 one of the series recorded as part of the Leeds International Piano Competition. An event that brings pianist from all over the world every three years.
Today's episode was on the brilliant performance by 24 year old pianist, Federico Colli, playing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, called the Emperor.
The performance is dated back to the time when this Italian virtuoso was still in the second place
When I saw him playing I just left everything I was doing and began watching Colli bringing a new life to Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
Extraordinarily, his piano playing is magical. The first thing comes to mind when watching and listening to him confirm the theory that there are wizards living among us. He can make the sun shine on stage and not in sky.
The special thing about Federico Colli is that you won't see him as just an amazing musician who learned to play a difficult and technically-complex musical score. Colli plays with perfection (and ease), with passion and conviction towards the score.
A couple of days ago he won the first place in this competition. Can anyone would dare of have any doubts?
