Barry Douglas

March 14, 2008 at 1:44 AM

Greetings,
Andrew doesn`t have a comments space for his blogs. Who can blame him with me around?!!!!
So I just thought I`d write and thank him for reminding me of Barry Douglas. I was leading an orchestra that played the Emperor Concerto with him just after he won the Leeds Piano conmpetition. Not only did he have very specific and cogent requests about bow strokes, it was such a fantastic performance it has been the yardstick I have measured all performances of that work since. The majority have not been nearly as good.
Cheers,
Buri
