DESCRIPTION:
Steinway & Sons presents the second iteration of its new “Live from the Factory Floor” concert series with Steinway Artist Elio Villafranca, a pianist who is at the forefront of the latest generation of remarkable Cuban pianists, composers and bandleaders that for several years has been making major creative contributions to the international development of modern jazz.
In this third clip from Elio’s visit to the factory, he talks to Ben Finane, Editor in Chief of Listen Magazine, about one of his major influences that might be slightly unexpected to some – Sergei Rachmaninoff.
