That's interesting. I happen to have (via sources that discretion suggests that I refrain from declaring) an old recording of what is probably one of the very few performances - if not in fact possibly the only one to date - of "some guy named Smith"'s violin concerto

Hmmm. I've often wondered a) if that was any good and b) what the ancestry might have been. Please enlighten me!

And very enjoyable it was too, the Brahms in particular cheering up a particularly insalubrious Monday lunchtime.  Great stuff.

Ah, PW!  Sorry to have missed you.  (...small matter of needing to get home sharpish after the concert)

Very glad you enjoyed it.  I love the Brahms too, when I'm not having to concentrate so much on how to play it!

Damn - I can't make that.

I forgot to say how much I enjoyed the late-night set at the Southbank.

I was hoping to be in the south at some point before Christmas, but that's looking increasingly unlikely now.  Sad
