Last night we went to see Nikolai Demidenko http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/artist_page.asp?name=demidenko play a load of Beethoven. It was easy to sit back and listen. It is strange that even though you can buy a CD for the cost of two lattes and a stale brownie, the reality is we would never sit down and listen to it. So live performance is the best way to experience something new. We may never hear Beethoven's Diabelli Variations again, but we could still really enjoy it.
