    In the Rachmaninoff, the pianist was fantastic but the orchestral accompaniment was absolutely terrible. No surprise. Look at who was conducting.

    • Conductors Dime a Dozen says:

      Absolutely agreed, it is unbelievable why they invited BKB to conduct. He was a keyboard warrior like Katherine Needleman, but (wisely?) decided not to air every life transgression on social media

    Magdalene is playing Chopin 1st PC at St Mary’s Perivale on Saturday 30 November at 7.30 pm with string quartet accompaniment. Will be livestreamed
