Soloist Ingrid Santamaria and new PPO conductor Eugene Castillo brilliantly rose to the challenge of two virtuosic concerti: Rachmaninoff’s C Minor and Tschaikovsky’s B Flat Major.

At the embassy residence, a program full of "sound and fury" featured Ingrid Santamaria playing the solo part and Reynaldo Reyes, the orchestral part, as they resumed their romantic piano journey – their 113th.

                    [Summary] => The Oxford dictionary defines tour de force as "a performance or achievement that has been accomplished with great skill". In the light of Raul Sunico’s recent engagement at the CCP auditorium, we might "improve" on that definition by changing "great skill" to "incomparable skill". Why? Because it is to be gravely doubted that any other pianist, here or abroad, has duplicated (or can duplicate) Sunico’s feat of playing in succession four Rachmaninoff concertos – No. 1 in F Sharp Minor, No. 2 in C Minor, No.
