Russia will be playing a large part in the plans of pianist Peter Bradley-Fulgoni during 2011 and 2012. After his last hugely successful performance at the Richter Memorial Apartment, Moscow, when he performed on the piano used by Sviatoslav Richter, he has been invited by Natalia Gutman to return. The visit will also include performances at the International Music Festival at Tarusa together with recitals and masterclasses at the Moscow State University Faculty of Arts. Discussions are in progress also about a tour of Siberia, similar to that undertaken by Richter, who gave performances at cities and villages throughout the region.
Poland also features in many of Peter’s plans, with performances at the Warsaw Music Society and the Russian Cultural Institute at the Russian Embassy in Warsaw as well as at the beautiful Benedictine Monastery at Tyniec, near Krakow. October 2011 will see Peter performing at Graz in Austria and a return visit to the Salle Cortot in Paris is planned following his hugely successful concert there in October 2010.
Nearer to home, arq (Architectural Research Quarterly - Cambridge University Press) has published an article by Peter on Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas and this will be followed in due course by an article on the Second Viennese School.
Peter Bradley-Fulgoni continues to be much sought after as a teacher and, in his role as Head of Keyboard Studies at Shrewsbury School, he has attracted students from as far afield as Bulgaria, Russia, Germany, China and Hong Kong as well as UK, many of whom have gone on to successful musical careers.
Peter has made numerous CDs featuring works by Schumann, Brahms and Beethoven, to name but three, plus a DVD to launch the Piano Maestros series. During autumn 2011 Peter will be renewing his association with Foxglove Audio when he records a new CD which will include mainly 20th century works.
