Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I remember Rob saying 'It's been confirmed' (or 'We've had confirmation').

Not a word re. Peter in Rob's promo for his Sunday morning stint just now on Breakfast. All very strange. I do so hope Peter is indeed but a victim of Mark Twain syndrome.Comment

Sad news indeed,
I remember Peter Katin's recording of The Grieg concerto from my childhood - and those memories were rekindled at University in the 1980s as a friend of mine also had the record.
Thank you Peter Katin

Rob is playing a tribute now. Schumann's 'Scenes from childhood'.
Rob says he was the first musician he ever interviewed.Comment

Obituary, finally, here.

Peter Katin RIP
Very sad to see that Peter Katin, that greatly admired pianist has passed away. Indeed, late of this parish and of the BBC boards passim.

The obituary reads almost like an obituary of the world where classical music was appreciated as music. I hope Peter Katin knew his performance meant so much to so many people irrespective of all those trends and fashions. R.I.P.Comment

Very sad news. My introduction to Tchaikovsky 1 and Rachmaninoff 2 were through his recordings on vinyl during school days and his set of Rachmaninoff Preludes remains, for me (along with Moura Lympany's) a real gem. A great and in recent years, a woefully neglected pianist.Comment
