Welcome to the second episode of the 4BR Review.
I'm joined by my colleague Chris Thomas as we look back at the recent Norwegian Championships in Bergen and ahead to the upcoming UK Regional Championships. We also reflect on standout concerts at the Royal College of Music in London and Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff, share our thoughts on Tim de Maeseneer’s latest CD, and discuss two compelling reads: the biography of Wilfred Heaton and Time’s Echo by Jeremy Eichler. Plus, we offer fresh recommendations for upcoming releases, concerts, contests, books—and even a few vintage vinyl gems worth hunting down. This episode is proudly sponsored by Besson – London.
