Maestro's exam concert

I couldn't go to the concert Maestro did for his masters exam in June (it clashed with a Sine Nomine concert). As I'm staying with him this weekend between two Sine Nomine gigs in Norwich/Yarmouth area, he put on the recording of it. Not an ideal recording set-up, but... the concert was superb. Excellent playing, and the pieces show off lots of detail in dynamics and timing, with brilliant delicacy of expression.

I can just imagine him conducting it, too :)

He's planning to do more with the "St Nicholas Concert Orchestra"; it would be such a waste not to use the set-up again, after all the stress and work of getting it together in the first place, and it would be cruel to deprive the world of another chance to hear it.
