But isn't he brilliant?

He is both entertaining and illuminating about the music that he plays.

I first got into his work, like, I suspect, many another, last year, in lockdown, when he played on Front Row (BBC Radio 4) on several occasions, from Iceland.

Plus I'm going to the Prom tomorrow night to see him live, with my daughter and her friend, and my friend. I cannot wait.

Shouldn't this be in the Norse behaviour - how to Handel thread?

(PS: I am envious.)

Thought he was great on In Tune the other night, apart from the Debussy: Girl with the Flaxen Hair, a piece I am quite fussy about. Looking forward to the Prom!

Also very envious of you getting to the Prom, which I’ve just enjoyed on the radio.

But what a name! He should really be in mixed martial arts, not classical piano.
