Philip James Leslie debut recital at the long-awaited rebirth of Bechstein Hall, London
Nice to see, Terry Lewis in the hall he has fought hard to bring to life, enjoying an aspiring young musician in the refined space that is the new Bechstein Hall.
Just a stone’s throw from the old one that after our victory (!!), in the first World War, was confiscated and rechristened Wigmore. There is also Bob Boas’s sumptuous salon nearby, where regular concerts for a select audience have become very much part of the musical scene.
After the initial pre Christmas lull it is good to see this new hall gladly being accepted, by an eclectic public, adding a much needed space to the near capacity audiences of the other two nearby venues.
