The critics have singled out our celebration of the 200th anniversary of Liszt’s birth with a recital by Leslie Howard and also a round table discussion marking the composer’s ‘Eureka Moment’ for praise, but also pick the Sheldonian Theatre concerts to be given by Menahem Pressler, Stephen Kovacevich and Stephen Hough from a week full of musical highlights and revealing masterclasses. Don’t forget that these classes are all open to the public and provide a fascinating glimpse of music in the making.
