I don’t think I’ve ever seen such assured or virtuosic playing as in the faster sections – astonishing stuff. I wouldn’t worry about the memory slip – the overall impression was a great one, the absolute silence of the audience for over 20 seconds (!) after the final note a testimony to this. So sad that its so hard, I would have loved to have given it a go at some point, but I can’t see myself ever being able to play it realistically.

Cheers and congratulations!
Guido

I was principal cello for your Chin performance… and if I may say so, you are an inspiration and your performance was just fantastic. I watched it afterwards and it was really interesting to hear the full effect and the gorgeous timbres and crazy rhythms that were coming through.. What a piece!! Anyway, Thanks very much for your performance….

Best wishes..

Rudi

I have just checked your schedule and I see that you are performing the Shostakovich 1 in Manila in September! To hear this live would be a dream come true for me. 😀 I I will be watching both nights, I love the Beethoven sonata in A. I can not wait!

All the best to you!

It came over beautifully and the effect was stunning. NO WAY I’d have noticed your mistakes! Nice interview at the end. Congratulations, and please come back and play it again soon when I’ll be sure to be there in person.

too bad we didn’t connect – but there will always be a next time (hopefully)…
Yes, Pamina is my third sister, the other names are similarily “rare”: Manon, Cosima, Pamina and Darius (the last of us five is a boy, yes). And yes, I guess Alban after Alban Berg, Manon after “in memory of an angel” Manon Gropius (for whom Alban wrote the violinconcerto), Cosima not really for the person C.Wagner, but they loved the name (and she is a lovely woman, just gave birth to her third child a couple of hours ago!!), and Pamina obviously Magic Flute (my mother sang that aria “Ach, ich fühl’s, es ist entschwunden” so beautifully, it still makes me cry if I think of it) – Darius for Darius Milhaud.
Best wishes from windy Berlin,
Alban

We all respect your tremendous candour, that’s what makes this blog so unique.

Pamina – what a lovely name, and knowing your father’s provenance, it’s obvious why. Were you called Alban after Berg?

Well, looking forward to your next Wigmore date (a fascinating programme, I dimly seem to remember).

All best,

David
