    It’s is truly stomach churning to read comments like this in 2024.

    I think I may be done with this misogynistic rag.

  • Sue Sonata Form says:

    Boiling eggs? Well, it makes a nice change from the boiling frogs we hear about endlessly!!

  • Primus Interpares says:

    Elena Bashkirova
    – Daniel Barenboim’s wife

    Magdalena Kožená
    – Sir Simon Rattle’s wife

  • Pedro says:

    Is Simon Rattle still in Berlin? I tough he went to Munich via London.

  • Zandonai says:

    I’m confused, are we talking about her wife’s tour or his husband’s eggs?

  • Harold Clarkson says:

    Never mind all the comments above, Elena Bashkirova is a very fine pianist indeed and a great person. I dont know Magdalena as well but have heard her and she is also a superb artist. lets give them respect in their own right! Norman I know that was your intention….
