More than any other, music from the Romantic era conjures up emotions and memories. It has an immediacy and the ability to carry you away. To me, Tchaikovsky is an outstanding example of this.

I borrowed the music and tried to play a few sections, with a view to raising my game by listening to the others. But I wasn’t ready yet.”
