Steven Isserlis Returns to Wigmore Hall in Live Broadcast Recital
Wigmore Hall and BBC Radio 3 resumed their daily 's lunchtime recital series in June with live broadcast performances without audiences in the hall.
Steven Isserlis, a Wigmore regular for many years, returned on June 8th with pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen and works by Beethoven, Schumann, and Fauré - to enthusiastic reviews:
"Judging from his playing…the celebrated cellist was feeling like a musical prisoner savouring his first day of freedom. Everything about his recital with the pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen spoke of a performer carried away by a reunion with his instrument and his art."

Watch at wigmore-hall.org.uk and listen on BBC Radio 3 through July 8th.

Eric Lu's Chopin Album Is Enthusiastically Received
"Lu explores each of these miniatures with the utmost poetry and sensitivity... But it’s how Lu has fashioned the set into a single whole that is the most inspiring aspect. "
Five Stars ***** | Instrumental Choice
"Lu's playing is in a rare class – one that has a vacancy since Radu Lupu’s retirement. This type of sensitivity and emotional intuition does not grow on trees, especially not when served by such a technique, with richly singing tone and delicate fleetness of finger."
Classical Disc of the Day
"An interpretation full of poetry"
