I've been away, and have only just seen your very kind comments. It makes it all the nicer to look back on that evening in the Wigmore. Thank you so much, Nick.

Then I realised I would be able to see the stage very well and yet I could also hear every detail (and admire the beautiful building too). What a wonderful concert! The Watkins sandwich worked beautifully, and it was suprising to find that the filling really did hold its own in such high class bread. Among the many things I will remember about your playing that evening, I particularly loved the tone quality that you manage to achieve from the piano and the balance of the 3 instruments - not easy for a piano trio. As I type this, I am enjoying your CD of the Archduke trio, which I bought after the concert and is immensely satisfying (having worked hard on the first movement last year on a holiday in France with two Dutch friends).
