Did anybody hear the appalling Herbie Hancock monstrosity - travesty even, that Suzy Klein praised as 'beautiful playing' on 'In Tune', describing it at as being 'the 2nd movement of the Ravel G major Piano concerto'?
It was definitely no such thing, it was an extract of a work called 'Piano Concerto in G' by 'Herbie Hancock' which turned out to be a jazzed-up version - none too tastefully - of the sublime 2nd movement of the beatific G major concerto by Ravel.
The various fiddly and distracting bits of 'up-tempo' pianisms that he added to this masterpiece were, to me, quite sickening.
I simply can't believe that Hancock's 'Concerto' doesn't infringe any laws of copyright!
