Me too, not only because Joanna is one of the least stuck-up, pretentious personalities one can have the pleasure of meeting, as I was lucky enough to do at one of the jazz festivals in which she collaborated on a project of some sort with Django Bates. Clearly one who has enviable powers of recall, she recognised me several years later at an illustrated talk she was giving on the enjoyments of performing complex contemporary works.

Well, she certainly delivered today, opening up a wonderful sound world (or worlds) and encouraging me to listen to pieces by composers whom I normally tend to avoid.

[Quarky]

Interesting to place Messiaen in the same thicket as Couperin and Rameau. Emphasising they share a common linneteage.

[gradus]

A pleasant change to hear something else by Pachelbel.

I missed this but will be hearing her in Southampton in January - greatly looking forward to it.

Indeed; caught JM's recital on iPlayer with a few days to spare before the 30-day deadline, and very well done it was.
