Bravo!!
6:44 I remember a similar castigation on my scales from Guy Jonson, with whom I was studying for my LRAM. "These should be better", he very quietly but very seriously said. I, likewise, have never forgotten this moment.
So nice to see this interview. I was a pupil of John's some thirty years ago, and I studied with him for quite a number of years following the death of David Parkhouse (my previous teacher) and before starting lessons with Ronald Smith. John comes across in this video exactly the way I remember him from back then - kind, gentle and thoughtful - and it seems likely from what he says that many of these qualities were inspired by similar qualities in his own teacher. I also met Philip briefly (although I didn't get to know him so well) at a masterclass he was giving at RNIB in London.
Musicians with a musical instrument, bringing out the literal beauty as a Wood Artisan does with timber. Both practical and food for my heart.
Marvellous
Fantastic interview, Alisdair!
Such a delightful conversation! Really pleasurable to listen to and learn from as a pianist!
Absolutely mad! Anyone can think up something like this.
At 8' 20" - interesting here comparing with Janos Starker, who aimed to have such control as to to play every time never below his standard and who regarded as "less than professional" people who played sometimes superlatively but occasionally poorly. These latter would have included Serkin, Menuhin, Richter, Horowitz, Cortot, Fischer. His ideals were, Heifetz, Backhaus, Gilels, Sebok, Katchen
Brilliant interview, and chat! Thanks for this.
Daniel Roberts Piano Thank you Daniel! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Thought he'd wince more at out-of-tune notes... maybe it's a good thing...?
GENIUS!
@Miles Bruno Are you and Merrick both the same person, Miles?
Interesting that Philip mentions that when he left the Academy he wasn't at all prepared for what was to come (!)
I hope I get to meet you at some point Alisdair. Philip always talks so fondly of you in lessons we've had. You clearly have a good sense of humour with that funny stuffed toy between Philip and John!
pianaoki Hello! Thank you for the lovely message! I hope to meet you too at some point. Do you study with Philip?
Yes! At Trinity a while ago! Had a few lessons with him again last year.
He is a contriver. And it is an outrageous insult that he calls himself a 'composer.' Beethoven was a composer. Debussy was a composer. Stephen Hough is not a composer.
organman52 and that attitude is why there are no great contemporary composers...no one can ever live up to the reputation of past revolutionary giants. Classical composition is way too hung up on originality.
organman52 He has many published compositions-therefore he is a composer. Not difficult to understand I think?
You're right he's not a composer. He's a pianist-composer
he is absolutely a composer. He has composed music therefore he is a composer
@@MyCatholicBookNook well said Emily
I improvise but not jazz.

Great to see that Stephen is out there and active with composing! Hopefully more young pianists will be inspired to compose by great pianists like him (that would include me lol). Good to talk about improvisation as well, I have a feeling that it could possibly come back as a trend soon. At least I'm very interested in it myself!
YES ! ! ! ! The world does not enough piano music. We desperately need more and more and more and more. Too bad what they are 'composing' now is all garbage.
Perfect voice for lied and an excellent pianist with a lovely sense for soft playing of Schubert! Great!
Totentanz does not start with the orchestra but the piano. How did the solosist make that claim?
+Stephen Jeacocke unless two or more editions exist that differ.
Around the 55 minute mark, it was interesting how John Blakely said Gordon Green may not know the correct way to play it and so they discuss the passage or piece it together, because this could be a good parable of sorts of the relationship between God and man. How can we find the truth in music is we are blind as to what the truth is. So Jesus may be the truth to understanding God.
