While this author has no illusions of being a music 'critic' of any significance, the two hours I spent at the Lionel Wendt last Friday compelled me to put my 'pen to paper' (fingers to keyboard is more accurate these days I suppose!). In this day and age where music and musicians are governed by what technology can do to aid their performance, it was refreshing to see nothing on stage for the entire first half, except a singer, a pianist and a piano! A reminder that sometimes, that's all you need. |
