It has been quite a week for Alexandra Dariescu, the Romanian-born UK pianist.

At one end, she won a Woman of the Future award. At the other, she had her phone nicked while playing a recital. Here’s what she tells us:

Absolutely outraged- my phone was stolen from my dressing room while on stage, during the second half of my recital in the United Reformed Church in Guildford this afternoon. I suppose you win some, you lose some… A heck of a week!

    Sorry but this seems like first world problem.

    My heart goes out to the “Woman of the Future award” recipient and “rising star “.

    I hope she will recover soon from this terrible loss.

    I have noticed that some female members of my area orchestra have their handbags under their chairs during concerts. One might think security would be a ‘given.’ Silly me.
