tamaranthBroadcast live on Radio 3 (so should be available on iPlayer for the next week): I was mostly there for the Piano Concerto, so skipped the second half (Dvorak New World Symphony) though might as well have stayed given the irregularity of trains back to Cambridge yesterday evening.
Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto is, in places, like a nineteenth-century wall of sound. It felt full of movement, spiralling down and then bursting forth.
Denis Kozhukhin (piano) was marvellous (though, due to clubbed blond hair, looked distractingly like Russell Crowe as Jack Aubrey) and I shall be seeking out other performances, live and on CD.
Trains are stupid.
