Stephen Hough's dandy blog: Cadenza

Just to prove that Aisle Be Seeing You takes your intellectual needs seriously and isn't only about shilling for the Celebrity Series (I mean, it is, of course, just not exclusively), I want to share with you a funny, informative, and gently irreverent little blog I just found by pianist Stephen Hough (who isn't even on the Series this season, though he has been on it before and will likely be on it again at some point though I'm not in charge of that so don't ask me).

Cadenza, as the blog is titled, is housed on the web site of the Telegraph newspaper and  has recently wrestled with (or merely pointed at) such topics as the sign banning guns in a Minneapolis concert hall, a poem composed about pronouncing Hough's surname, the pianists Shura Cherkassky, Glenn Gould and Vladimir Horowitz, and the relative merits of sparkling vs. still water.
