  1. Glad to have had you over yesterday evening and glad you made it back so well. The music you heard me play was the first two movements of the long A Minor Sonata (D 845) by Schubert - so influential on Bruckner (read below).

    In advent of the Pollini recital (Mozart/Webern/Boulez) on BBC - just finished listening to, watching him play on the Trail On the Water DVD a piece by Luigi Nono for piano and (electronic) tape - I just want to say that a few comments of mine about Cascioli and Metzmacher on a BBC Beethoven 4th Piano Concerto (regardless what the intentions of these two artists may have been in playing it) from last year sort of mirrored a few comments I or perhaps we both heard Metzmacher make about the Bruckner 5th he conducted at Edinburgh (as broadcast on BBC) about so many disparate elements in this music that confront each other and are broken up by silences, for the music to start off not necessarily exactly from where it had left off. Ingo’s mind’s eye was more of a bombed out church than one from a more traditional mindset of a cathedral standing in all its dimensions and glory, as he explained. It just hit me after calling you this evening at a slightly obscene hour, that we had both probably had heard Ingo’s remarks on all this. There is more I could say here, but comments on this part of your blog only allow, only should allow so much.
    :-)
