Superb Mendelssohn from Augustin Hadelich tonight at @bbcproms. And the arena really is the best place to listen. Apart from the sticky floor, which creaks loudly whenever anyone tries to unstick a foot. Which is quite a lot. Don’t they ever clean it?.

My @MusicMagazine interview with @NickyBenedetti is now out!.
Our August issue features musicians enthusing about The Beatles, and other musicians pointing the finger at composers they feel are overrated (hint: no one is safe).
