Did you hear the encore?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Yes but that the was the bit I wasn’t really listening to! He has a nice legato line and cantabile style but I worry about his technique and how much he follows the conductor. The Argerich Beethoven PC 1 was a masterclass in that respect.Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View PostComment

I also heard that - it was special, I agree… From memory, the conductor was Renaud Capuçon, a cellist and protegé of MA I think… I wonder who was following who?Originally posted by Ein Heldenleben View Post
