The Imogen Cooper Musical Trust in Eygalières was such a memorable experience. Imogen Cooper is an inspirational artist and a world-class pianist, who is willing to use some of her precious time to pass on her knowledge and love of music to the younger generation. I have been very lucky indeed to be invited to participate in this week, where unlike more conventional masterclasses, there were only two pianists who worked for up to three hours per day with Imogen. Professionally speaking, this was a revelation: to work for so long, gave us the time to explore so many layers of a musical composition, from technical aspects, to more intricate emotions that stem out of the tiniest details. The environment was beautiful, our hosts were truly wonderful people, the food was delicious - all of these things enchanted us, allowing us to work with much enthusiasm on the music.
