"Jeffrey Siegel's 'Keyboard Conversations' programme is unique, informative and very entertaining. A piano virtuoso and first class communicator, Jeffrey Siegel makes you leave the theatre hungry for more music." 
David Suchet

"In a world filled with flummery and jargon, Jeffrey Siegel tells and plays it like it is. No-one takes you faster  from here to the heart of the music, and no-one makes you feel more confident that music has  a vital role to play in your life."
Norman Lebrecht

Perhaps the most momentous day in Brahms's life was 30 September 1853, when Brahms, barely 20 years old, first met Robert and Clara Schumann and performed his compositions for them.  They instantly recognised his genius.  Thus began the legendary musical and personal "love triangle" that  Jeffrey Siegel explores in the second in his series of Keyboard Conversations®.  

He performs the deeply-expressive Romances by Clara Schumann (one dedicated to Robert, the other to Brahms), Robert's passionate Novelettes for Clara, and finally, two of Brahms's works which Clara deeply loved:  the Op. 18 Variations from the String Sextet, arranged for her by Brahms as a birthday present, and a selection from the Paganini Variations. 

Piano masterpieces illuminated by virtuoso performances and captivating commentary; fast-paced Q & A concludes concert.

"A first-class musician who can sketch and colour with greatness."
The Times   

"The versatility of his interpretive gifts is extraordinary."
The Telegraph
