Yeah, except that all the new British music is in the St P programmes,  and in Moscow it's largely, errr, Russian music?  Sad  Of course I will go along,  but I would have had more of a spring in my step if headed for the St P programmes.   The programme at the Conservatoire interests me more - we never get Sorabji here, and no-one even knows his name.  Rachmaninoff recitals are unfortunately extremely prevalent.

BTW, with ref to the Steinway/Bosendorfer thread...   the instrument at the Muradeli Music School (a lovely colonnaded hall, btw) is a Bluthner, and was the one I had in mind when I mentioned them Smiley
