Solo-Recital Review - Christopher Axworthy Review, London

1) Solo recital for the Chopin Society concert, 23rd March 2025:

​​

"Bobby Chen at the Chopin Society UK ‘Masterly musicianship of humility and poetic sensibility"
 

Bobby Chen a renowned supporter of young musicians who even holds a ‘Summer school’ ( late December!!) in the Menuhin School for aspiring young musicians from his homeland .Bobby has long been linked with Yehudi Menuhin with whom he performed Beethoven Triple Concerto during the Indian Summer of one of the greatest musicians of our time.
 

A spring season that has included Rose McLachlan ( of the MacLachlan clan who are gradually all performing for Lady Rose ) and recently a pianist I have admired in recording but never heard live : Danny Driver with the Midas Touch of a great artist at the Chopin Society UK https://christopheraxworthymusiccommentary.com/…/danny…/

The next concert will be the 2005 winner of the Chopin Competition in Warsaw on the 27th April with Rafal Blechacz.It will signal the opening concert of the Chopin Society Year of Polish Pianists in collaboration with the Polish Cultural Institute ( see below).
 

All this to say what a revelation the concert by Bobby was today."
