Left wanting more
He stated that people wanted much more '” I think more for their money.
I did not consider this recital good value at 12. Prof Guy Bovet played three items plus an encore, very little more than one hour.

Hide AdIs it worth calling upon someone so noted, just to give one recital of one hour?
On Wednesday last week, a small group of us visited Christchurch Priory in Dorset for the end-of-season organ recital by a well-known recitalist.
It was four times the value, a two-hour programme for 6, and very well-attended.
A similar group of us visited the Royal Albert Hall in July for a celebrity organ recital '” two hours, 10 minutes of music for 10.
