Ever since Kit Armstrong entered the international music stage twenty years ago, his activities have exerted an enduring fascination upon music lovers. Today he maintains an active career as pianist, composer, and organist. He performs as a soloist in major international venues and appears with some of the world’s finest orchestras.
At the age of 5, Armstrong came to classical music through composition, and has developed a broad oeuvre of solo, vocal, chamber, and symphonic works. Edition Peters publishes Armstrong’s compositions.
In 2012, Armstrong purchased the Church of Sainte-Thérèse in Hirson, France as a hall for concerts and exhibitions. This cultural centre that he created is home to interdisciplinary projects reaching a regional as well as cosmopolitan public, and has been the subject of profiles in the national and international press.
Kit Armstrong holds a Master's degree in pure mathematics from the University of Paris VI.
o, I still haven't been able to find out if this is a actual Bach composition or not. Anyone know for sure? Sounds like it influenced Chopin's 4th E minor prelude.
As far as I know, the attribution to J.S. Bach is not watertight in the way that it is for his few published works or those that exist in many reliable manuscript copies. However, I am not aware of any competing hypothesis with a better claim to documentation.
Hola Armstrong. desde España, te sigo, y me suscribí a tu canal, desde que eras alumno de Alfred Brendel, al cual también admiro mucho. Me puedes decir cuantos CD de la deutsche grammophon tienes editados? para comprarlos. Tengo toda las sonatas de Beethoven de Alfred en la Philips. Gracias por dedicarnos tu tiempo, para mi eres un genio.
A wonderful video. It's surprisingly hard to speak well and play immediately after but this just flows naturally. I've enjoyed some other videos on this channel (notably the Byrd/Bull talks and performances) too. Very engaging!
The clavichord recording is too weak, I have played a clavichord with a full sound. Maybe microphone is too far away. Maybe it is a simple mobile camera recording without a separate mic, and maybe it was adjusted to speakers volume.
Wunderschön anzuhören!!!! Deine eigene Interpretation zu diesem musikalischen Thema mag ich sehr und macht die Vielseitigkeit im Spiel,die Freiheit dazu ,sichtbar! Wenn alle Musiker die gleichen Inhaltsspielverständnisses/den Gleichklang aufzeigen würden,wie langweilig wäre es auf der Welt.......😊
Ich muss mich entschuldigen, denn meine Zeilen hierzu sind auf einem anderen Video von dir gelandet.Warum auch immer? Nochmals,deine Erklârungen dazu finde ich interessant! Die Interpretation deiner eigenen Spielweise zu verschiedenen Kompositionen gefallen mir außerordentlich und gehören meiner Meinung nach zu sehr guten Musikern! Tja und einige Kommentare hier sind meiner Meinung nach fehl am Platz! Bin ein großer Fan!!!😊
Eine sehr poetische Darstellung in der Erklärung zu seinen Hühnern und dazu diese Komposition ----Klasse!!!😊 Die Gestik der Hände ,einfach wunderschön zart und dann wieder kräftig und schnell, Chapeau!
