What do you think of Benjamin Frith ?
on: February 11, 2005, 12:54:31 PM
Benjamin Frith has recorded all of Mendelssohns piano works, and John Field piano concertos.  What do you think of his playing?  Anyone seen him in perform?

I had coaching from him - seemed nice (he'd had a long day when I saw him) Playing very sensative ! :D

Oh good because Im having a lesson on Saturday. He only has a few private pupils, where did you get your coaching ?  - Just wondering if I would know of you pianowelsh since I know him well through a friend of mine and I speak to him on occasion.  I posted this because I wondered what everyone's opinon of his playing/teaching is.
