"Gilmore Young Artist Charlie Albright is rising star pianist; see him this weekend" - Review of Concert on April 22, 2010 by the Grand Rapids Press "Poetry in motion." Such was the description of Charlie's performance of the Mozart Concerto in D minor on April 22, 2010 with the Grand Rapids Symphony and Music Director David Lockington. "...Albright's professional polish was evident, not only in the way he played the piece, but in the manner he played with the orchestra, as opposed to against or merely alongside it." "...Playing with flair as well as fireworks." Regarding Charlie's encore of Liszt's La Campanella, it was written that "The velocity is fast, the interval stretches for both hands are vast. The trills are taxing, but when played well -- as Albright did on Thursday -- the effect is thrilling." "This college kid...is going places in music." "In Royce Auditorium on Thursday, Albright was number one all the way." Click here to read the entire article online.
