to see Stephen Hough at Birmingham Town Hall in January?

I've been told about this concert by my music teacher, she says he's a brilliant pianist.

Anyone else heard of him? Know how good he is?

He's playing:

Mendelssohn Variations Serieuses
Webern Variations, Op 27
Beethoven Sonata in C minor, Op 111
Weber Invitation to the Dance
Chopin Waltz, Op 64 No 2; Valse Brilliante, Op 34 No 1
Saint-Saens Valse Nonchalante
Chabrier Feuille d’Album (Valse)
Debussy La plus que Lente (Valse)
Liszt Valse Oubliee No 1; Mephisto Waltz No 1

i've never heard of him, but i know and love most of the stuff he's playing!
i would love to go to that concert, but sadly live too far away to get there!

Jacob.

I went to a concert given by Stephen Hough in Birmingham last year. He is indeed a very good pianist, but I didn't warm to him as a person - he seemed very distant. The main thing that sticks in my memory is the bright green carpet slippers he wore for the performance.

He is a superb pianist.

Stephen Hough is a superb pianist. Must see!! I live in the US, so going to Birmingham, England is impossible!

I keep hearing about those bright green slippers

I'm definitely going then...

if only to see these famous slippers lol.

I must admit I don't know him, but this is his website: http://www.stephenhough.com/
