Jiaxin Lloyd Webber / Rebeca Omordia
Blackheath Halls


The long-established Sunday morning recitals at Blackheath Concert Halls consistently feature interesting programmes and outstanding performers, and those admirable characteristics were well in evidence on February 14 when Jiaxin Lloyd Webber, cello, and Rebeca Omordia, piano, presented a first-class recital in the Halls' Recital Room, with its excellent acoustics.

Bach - accompanied and unaccompanied - framed Faure's Elegie - the different demands of each composer being ideally met by both artists, before Rebeca Omordia presented two solo pieces from John Ireland's Decorations.  Having been considerably impressed by this artist's outstanding account of Ireland's Sonata in London last year, I was looking forward with no little anticipation to more from this highly gifted pianist - and I was not disappointed; this was very fine pianism and interpretative insight indeed.
