The remarkable Robert's day job is as a homeopathic practitioner in Putney, but by night he is a pianist af phenomenal talents and range. His many distinguished appearances have included Stravinsky and Bartok at the Proms, Schubert in Montepulciano, Tippett in Padua, Mozart at St John's, and as accompanist in celebrity masterclasses at the Aldeburgh Festival. His recent concerto performances have included Rachmaninov's fiendish Third Piano Concerto, and in this series he has given us many unforgettable performances, both as soloist and chamber musician - most recently the Schumann Fantasy and Bach's Goldberg Variations. He also founded and runs his own distinguished chamber series at All Saints Putney Common which, with a typical twinkle, he titles "The Putney Knitting Concerts" because of their informal atmosphere - though they're so good that this does rather remind one of Brahms's mischievous explanation for the extra scherzo in his mighty Second Piano Concerto, that the first movement was too "simpel"!
