What a treat it was to hear both your masterclass and your recital of Book 1 of WTC in Melbourne. What a piece of magic, those final four bars of Fugue 4. And the wonderful conclusion to Fugue 24I was lucky enough to get a ticket from someone at the door.
Incidentally, I believe that your fiftieth birthday is, quite literally, within days of mine - 10th September. I celebrated it on the Trans Siberian Railway. A week or two later we were in Shanghai, so will be thinking of you on 28th.
Your playing always inspires me to do better with Bach, a love of which I developed in my home town of Perth not quite fifty years ago, but almost.
Thankyou once again, for your wonderful, inspiring playing of Bach and allowing me to hear live the WTC for the first time. I couldn't have wished for a better celebration of fifty years.
