Anybody else met him?
Full Version: Nikolai Lugansky
Just came back from a brilliant concert - Lugansky playing Rach 2 with the Bournemouth Symphony!!! Effortless and very fluid playing. Met him afterwards - seemed to be a reserved, shy chap. Got him to sign a few CDs etc and took a photo or two. Concert hall staff gave me a few of his posters too! Bliss!!!

Well, I've heard Rach 2, and I've seen the BSO. Both of which I think are top notch 
The BSO ... Where were they tonight? I'm going to hear Alfred Brendel with the BSO on 23 March 
Do you think if I stood outside the stage door afterwards I could get him to sign something...?

The BSO was playing at Colston Hall, Bristol. I'm sure Alfred Brendel would be happy to sign your programme/CD sleeve notes/CD etc.

Yay! I'll try that!
If anyone is interested, here's his website: http://lugansky.homestead.com/index.html 
The interviews make interesting reading. He practises 4 hours a day, sometimes he doesn't practise at all. Took him 3 days to learn Rach 3 - add 1 day to commit it all to memory!
