Been there, done that!

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

I don't think I ever knew anyone discuss a work in such detail and yet leave the overall structure intact. I certainly heard him play the Beethoven several times and he always played as though this was the only way. But he always took notice of other pianists although he said that an interpretation belonged to one person. It seems impossible to remember that I first saw him play in 1949 - the Emperor, with Szell!Originally posted by salymap View PostThanks a lot johnb. Just before I joined in Sept 2007 - lovely to see gamba, smittims and of course Peter Katin himself, such an interesting thread from the past.

Great to see you back here, Mr K... It may be me not reading the right threads, but it's been a while. And thanks for getting this thread back on the rails (I consider myself largely responsible for its derailment
)
These memories of Sir CC are very interesting (and I must say I have relayed to a couple of people today your story about him spotting his American car from your shared taxi !)"...the isle is full of noises,

Yes, it's great to hear your stories. I grew up in Buurnemouth with its Municipal & then Symphony Orchestra and your visits ( at least annual, sometimes more frequent) remain treasured memories.With thanks and best wishes.Originally posted by salymap View PostAnd wonderful that there are several 'pages' of posts accessible on that old MB thread.

An opportunity for me to thank Peter for many happy memories of performances with us, both in Bournemoiuth and on tour.
It's good to see you posting again Peter.

I don't find facial expressions disturbing - eyes can always be closed. If a genius wants to pull faces to assist in the performance, that's ok with me.
However one performance I did find disturbing, not in an unpleasant way, was Natalie Cline, at the Wigmore Hall. She was dressed in a very flimsy dress, it was a hot and steamy night, and she appeared to be making physical love to the Cello. Phew!Comment
