The above concert sounds, well, unmissable so I'm afraid that:
Benjamin Grosvenor: in Schumann/Janáček/Prokofiev/Liszt (encores by Grieg/Ginastera)
two nights ago in Toulon hardly competes. As a BG groupie, I'm not a good person to be objective about his recitals but, as ever, technically brilliant and poetic playing. Slightly shambolic organisation of a concert in an unventilated space but, hey, a Monday night in the French equivalent of Portsmouth and "Visions Fugitives" to be going through one's head ever since. Same programme at the Barbican tomorrow, I think.
