| 8-Dec-2011 St George's Bristol | András Schiff performs, conducts and plays with the Oxford Philomusica |
 Standing ovation after standing ovation. The packed hall at St George’s received a treat in form of an evening of Haydn played by fantastic musicians. The stage was filled with energy from start to end in a programme, from the Oxford Philomusica’s ‘Best of Haydn’ series, which displayed a variety of Joseph Haydn’s works.

He is very musical and possessed of a prodigious technique – but what about that ineffable something that one sometimes hears, that moves us beyond words? Do we attend concerts to be impressed or to be moved? Back to that question later.
