When Kit Armstrong was onIy 14, he overcame his mentor Alfred Brendel s reIuctance to take on pupiIs. Said Brendel: He pIayed so beautifuIIy that l thought to myself, I have to make time for him. lt was a performance that really Ied you from the first to the last note. Soon Armstrong was winning internationaI prizes both as pianist and as composer and was appearing as soloist at some of the world s foremost venues. At the Concertgebouw, Armstrong mesmerized his audience with Bach s monumentaI GoIdberg Variations preceded by earIier polyphonic variation masterpieces by WiIIiam Byrd, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and John BuIl. |
