    Puts a smile on the face. So nice.

  • msc says:

    Joyous. Thanks.

  • Tom Blancato says:

    Looks like Pletnev’s doing the messing. This was obviously set up for Martha to play the piece as written. Credit where due, please. I suspect Pletnev is improvising this, which is quite a show of talent.

  • Petros Linardos says:

    Made my day. Thank you!

  • PCJ says:

    Wonderful to hear the joy in their playing.

  • Cor Anglais says:

    Good grief. Come back Nige, all is forgiven.
