Am I, Too, Allowed?
Graham Johnson & Kevin Murphy
Duration: 1 hour and 22 minutes
About: Two of the world’s leading pianist-coaches Graham Johnson & Kevin Murphy share stories, opinions, teaching strategies, industry advice, and more in a conversation that analyzes the role of the “accompanist.” These two unique artists from different backgrounds and nationalities provide insight into their respective corners in the field of collaboration. They discuss in depth their experiences as accompanists from the rehearsal room to the concert stage, with added wisdom for the younger generation. And, of course, a conversation between pianists would not be complete without a mention of Franz Schubert.
