Or perhaps that should be "The Boy Wonder Lives !!"
Or "The Paternal Optimist Lives !!", for that matter.
Whatever, this blog is resurrected, at least temporarily, in order to bring you something which will no doubt one day be considered of enormous historical significance : a recording of the BW performing Gerald Finzi's beautiful Eclogue (a movement from the Piano Concerto he never wrote) at the legendary St John's, Smith Square, in front of a large audience, many of whom were parents or grandparents of those performing, but many of whom were not.
As you will hear, he played with the delicate touch and maturity that makes the PO such a proud father. Just be patient when it starts - it actually begins about ten seconds in. Oh, and any deficiencies in recording quality are entirely the fault of the PO.
