Hi -
If you get the chance to hear Stephen Hough play this year, take it! I have attended 3 of his concerts over the last 3 years and each has been quite special. His choice of programme is always intelligent and unusual, usually with a connecting theme in mind. It is of great interest. His solo programme for this year contains pieces by Bach, Faure, Franck, Copland, Chopin, all beautifully and sensitively played. We are fortunate that he comes early in the year to our town as a 'rehearsal' for bigger venues. he plays this at the Royal Festival Hall 18th Jan. More info on his website....
