CONCERT BY HENRY ROCHE
at Hammerwood Park
East Grinstead Sussex
Moscheles was a pupil and friend of Beethoven and a teacher of Mendelssohn. Henry Roche, recently retired as Director of Music of the Royal Ballet, is Moscheles' great great grandson . . . so music clearly runs in the genes.
He is performing a luscious programme including two works by Moscheles on a piano tuned in the spirit of 18th and 19th century unequal temperament, a "well temperament" such as that which Bach would have been writing for.
