There's nothing quite like reading the the printed reviews of a respected critic in a major daily newspaper, particularly when the review gives major kudos to the performers and the whole shooting match. As one of those performers I felt that I had reason to be proud (read ego inflated) after reading one of these reviews before Christmas. Any student reading this article in years to come would believe that the concert was a 'tour de force' - as indeed it was. The only snag is that the reviewer only attended the first half, and indeed she had filed her report by the end of interval before leaving to go to a Christmas party (or something). Regards, John
