    His way of playing has bought so many more people into the world of classical music(me included). Hardly an evening goes by without me listening to his music and performers. I only discovered him by chance earlier on in the year. He has changed my whole outlook on (The Classics). It is such happy music, and can understand why he did'nt like the way it is traditionally played (so sombre). I really like listening to Suzan Erens, but she is sadly no longer with him. His version of 'Hallelujah' is simply stunning. Long may he continue to enthral audiences around the world.
