Cheers Pet, they seem to have passed me by! To be honest I am not his biggest fan but am tempted by these chances to reassess.

Also on a personal note, I met Sir Colin in Moscow, backstage at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire in 1979, where the LSO had just given a concert. A couple of evenings before they had played the Shostakovich 5 at which I was present, and wonder if this tour was the only time that he conducted DSCH.

Gershwin: Piano Concerto in F major

Roberto Szidon (piano)/London Philharmonic Orchestra/Edward Downes (on vinyl LP)

Always a favourite LP, the best find in a box of 50 classical LPs bought (without having much idea of its content) on eBay. I'm not sure that the performance has ever been bettered. Enjoying random pick 'n mixes from the box (French Ace of Clubs Ansermet in Chabrier; Louis Frémaux in Dukas; Poulenc's Concert Champêtre in mono). They all sound remarkably fine.
