Concierto en el Hotel Tres Reyes
El 10 de junio de 2023 tuve la ocasiรณn de interpretar los grandes รฉxitos de Coldplay en el Hotel Tres Reyes de Pamplona, un concierto Candlelight organizado por Fever.
Despuรฉs de mi primera experiencia con el repertorio en una iglesia, temรญa que la acรบstica volviera a dificultar mi trabajo, pero no fue asรญ. Aunque la sala era de piedra y rectangular, las acolchadas sillas del pรบblico y las cortinas que cubrรญan todas las ventanas absorbieron muy bien el sonido, aun siendo el piano un brillante Yamaha C7.
La primera sesiรณn, aunque se ausentaran unas veinte personas, tenรญa las entradas agotadas. El pรบblico estaba sentado alrededor del piano, incluso detrรกs y a la izquierda, lo cual era nuevo para mรญ. Como era un concierto a la luz de las velas, el piano estaba a oscuras y tuve que poner luces enganchadas al teclado para ver dรณnde ponรญa las manos. De lo que no me habรญa dado cuenta es que, tal y como me las habรญa colocado, me estorbaban para levantar la mano y pasar las pรกginas y mรกs de una vez me tropecรฉ con ellas.
Para la segunda sesiรณn habrรญa corregido este error y me sentรญ mรกs a gusto tocando, aunque me notaba ya algo cansado. El baรฑo relajante que pude darme en el hotel me sentรณ de lujo, y tambiรฉn me encontraba mรกs cรณmodo con el pรบblico, que esta vez era menor, porque sentรญa que interactuaba mejor asรญ.
Mi prรณximo concierto en el Hotel Tres Reyes serรก el mes siguiente, esta vez con el repertorio de Ludovico Einaudi. Aquรญ os dejo unas fotos de la prueba acรบstica del concierto de Coldplay.




Concert at the Hotel Tres Reyes
On 10 June 2023 I had the opportunity to perform Coldplay’s greatest hits at the Hotel Tres Reyes in Pamplona, a Candlelight concert organised by Fever.
After my first experience with the repertoire in a church, I was afraid that the acoustics would again hinder my work, but this was not the case. Although the hall was stone and rectangular, the cushioned audience chairs and the curtains covering all the windows absorbed the sound very well, even though the piano was a shiny Yamaha C7.
The first session, although some twenty people were absent, was sold out. The audience was seated around the piano, even behind and to the left, which was new to me. As it was a candlelit concert, the piano was dark and I had to put lights hooked to the keyboard to see where I put my hands. What I hadn’t realised was that, as I had placed them, they got in the way of me raising my hand to turn the pages and more than once I tripped over them.
By the second session I would have corrected this mistake and felt more at ease playing, although I was already feeling a little tired. The relaxing bath I had in the hotel felt great, and I also felt more comfortable with the audience, which was smaller this time, because I felt I interacted better that way.
My next concert at the Hotel Tres Reyes will be the following month, this time with the repertoire of Ludovico Einaudi.
