Contrasting halves from Mostly Mozart Orchestra and Heyward

Edward Sava-Segal, 4th August

The first concert Alan attended was Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde. For 7 years he presented classical music programmes for Radio Television Hong Kong, partly to pay his way through university. He attends concerts whenever he can and believes there is no substitute for the thrill of live performances. He writes here.
