Anthony Romaniuk

Anthony Romaniuk

One thing we know for sure: sameness will never feature on an Anthony Romaniuk menu. We therefore love to be surprised by this keyboard all-rounder, especially when a sublime Cristofori fortepiano, a modern Steinway, and a host of 18th-century composers are on offer. Scarlatti, Seixas and Soler, plus Federico Mompou's introspective Musica Callada or Silent Music (1959/67). Where are we headed? Beyond silence, into the delirium of listening.
