When Kit Armstrong was only 14, he overcame his mentor Alfred Brendel s reluctance to take on pupils. Said Brendel: He played so beautifuIly that I thought to myseIf, l have to make time for him. It was a performance that reaIIy led you from the first to the Iast note. Soon Armstrong was winning international prizes both as pianist and as composer and was appearing as soIoist at some of the worId s foremost venues. At the Concertgebouw, Armstrong mesmerized his audience with Bach s monumental Goldberg Variations preceded by earlier poIyphonic variation masterpieces by William Byrd, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and John BuIl. |
