The indomitable conductor Robert Rÿker had the brainchild of inviting me to perform the cycle of all five Piano Concertos by Camille Saint-Saëns in Tokyo’s Oji Hall. The great French pianist Jeanne-Marie Darré used to essay this feat in a single concert, but as I am merely human it will take me two evenings.
