On Saturday 4 April, in the Eastern weekend, I as once more delighted to be invited at Peter’s home in Beijing, along with my daughter Valerie this time.
This is the second concert for me, see: https://www.beijing1980.com/?p=1522

This time I ( finally) could hear his wife Stella, a great soprano, sing. What a voice!
Among the guests, many familiar faces from our “Old China Hands Lunch”, as well as the Canadian Ambassador and his wife.
The program:
– Sonate op 27 nr 2 L. – Beethoven
– Klavierkonzert Nr. 1 in Es  – Franz Liszt, the original version for two pianos (Peter and Stella)
– O mio babbino caro – G. Puccini, performed by Stella, Peter at the piano.

The concert was followed by a relaxed buffet ( and lots of good red wine!). Stella also showed her video with her impressive performance in Taipei.
Honored to find my book (among some real great books) that Peter read to the very end.
See here a glimpse on their great performance (if in China, you need VPN!):

Looking forward for more!
