This post is one in a sequence which lists live music I have heard, as best my memory allows, from the Pandemic onwards. I will update this as time permits. In some cases, I am also motivated to write about what I heard.

- Emmanuel Despax – Bach/Busoni’s Chaconne and Chopin’s 24 Preludes. Solo recital at St John’s Church Waterloo, London, 26 November 2023.
This was a profoundly intense and deeply moving performance. The interior of this church was refurbished in a (very beautiful) minimalist, modernist style after lockdown, with limited decoration, so the acoustics can sometimes be austere. Sitting at the front for this performance, I did not feel this at all.
