Concert at Markideio Theatre, 10 March 2023
The audience had the unique opportunity to share a remarkable musical experience with the highly accomplished Italian pianist Pietro de Maria. "The experience of listening to the virtuosity of Pietro de Maria was a real delight for my ears to listen to" stated the Ambassador of Austria to Cyprus, HE Mrs. Dorothea Auer.
The concert began with the emotions being alternating, from piece to piece, and with the applause getting warmer and warmer. HE the Counsel of the Embassy of Germany to Nicosia, Dr Dirk Haupt described his experience as follows: “This was an evening of truly great music, a unique experience of this congenial aesthete of the piano. Pietro de Maria performed works by Clementi, Schubert, Chopin and Liszt brilliantly and with great sensitivity. At the same time, the attentive listener notices the special musical and emotional attachment of the pianists to Chopin. It was on this wonderful evening as if Pietro De Maria wanted to show his audience in Paphos what makes Chopin unique in the piano music of all times.”
The audience was not ready to let go of the pianist and with their unstoppable applause led him to give two encores. The Ambassador of Switzerland to Cyprus, HE Dr Chistoph Burgener, characteristically said: “It rarely happens that a concert stays with me for days afterwards! The performance of the world-class pianist Pietro de Maria simply overwhelmed me. The lightness of his playing and the sensitive interpretation of the works performed were a breathtaking experience. Thanks to Technopolis 20 and to the main private sponsor, who made this extraordinary event possible.”
The world-known pianist Pietro de Maria offered us an Exceptional, Expressional and Emotional music evening, but we cannot, not to also highlight the kindness of Pietro's personality, behind a great pianist.
