Thanks for the report, Luis! Yes, Josh does play his own cadenzas in the Beethoven concerto (and many others). Thanks for your comment, Karin. Yes, I was curious about the cadenzas. Very well thought out, & a novel approach. Thoroughly enjoyed them. I was a litle startled to hear a cadenza-like interlude, just as the 3rd movt was about to get underway. Certainly took me by surprise! :-)

I think both Joshua & the orchestra were too knackered by the end of that draining concert for an encore. And I gathered that there was a long journey ahead for all of them. Phew. What a gruelling life they lead. It's not easy being an orchestra "on the road".
