This was last week’s launch performance by the book’s author and Leed-winning pianist Alim Beisembayev.

I don’t think I have ever heard a more transcendent opus 111 Arietta.

    Well maybe you should go to more concerts then, Norman.

    Funny how no one ever sees you at any of the London concerts…

    Great talk and pianist. But the intro: “He went to school in the Home Counties, so that’s alright” WTF?

  • ChiLynne says:

    Very much enjoyed the program. So grateful for Wigmore Hall’s making this and so much more available to the remote audience.
