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.

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.
